The two male protagonists are plotting in ancient times!
Pei Fenghe × Su Yushi | Immediate boss × close subordinate
The top civil servants in the Hanlin Academy are one at a time, one is bright and the other is dark.
Imperial power checks and balances, cabinet strife, clan rebellion, civil and military confrontations, the whole dynasty is watching them.
He is his mentor, his backer, and his only confidant; he is his weakness, his arm, and his trust in life and death.
The water in the court is deep, and the partisanship is like a knife. I will protect your stability for the rest of your life, and you will stay with me to keep our original intention.
Pure ministers and confidants, two-way protection, the plot drama is on the line!
Intention: Born in a troubled time of power and intrigue in the court, people's hearts are entangled in the chess game of fame and fortune. Pei Fenghe and Su Yushi are monarchs and ministers, confidants, and the only salvation in each other's desperate situation.
One person is willing to give up his official career and power and go to the wilderness in order to protect his confidant; the other person cherishes the spirit of being a scholar, sticks to his true nature, and would rather endure all difficulties than drag down the other party.
The article uses the strife and conspiracy in the court to describe the ups and downs of troubled times and the inability to control one's own actions. It also writes about how power cannot match deep love and fame cannot match the sincerity and perseverance of a close friend. Even though their fate is unfortunate and the road ahead is miserable, the two of them still stick to each other through life and death.
