Ten years ago, the Su family was overturned because of injustices. Young Su Jianhuan fled away and hastily separated from his fellow senior fellow student Shen Qingyan. Ten years later, he returned to Beijing incognito, relegated to a lowly position and lurked as a minor official, just waiting for an opportunity to reverse the case. At that time, Shen Qingyan was already the minister of Dali Temple, praised by both the government and the public. When he was investigating old cases and was attacked, he completely forgot about his young junior brother. Su Jianhuan knew that the road ahead was full of swords and swords, but he still teased the upright Shen Qingyan every day, hiding his forbearance under the disguise of laughter. A frame-up incident sent him to Dali Temple for interrogation. Shen Qingyan held the law in his hands, but due to an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart, he repeatedly made exceptions and could not bear to sentence him harshly. The two men coexisted in the officialdom, and rumors and accusations and plots by political opponents ensued. Everyone in the Shen family saw through the secret but remained silent due to taboos. Wearing shackles, separated by a sea of blood and hatred and court etiquette, they never dared to expect to stay together year after year, and could only covet the joy of being together for a moment in the wind and rain. As they join forces to dig into old cases, Shen Qingyan recovers all his memories in a life-and-death crisis. The two let go of the past and work together to fight against the powerful traitors. The two sub-lines of the novel, one sad and the other happy, reflect fate, with light-hearted comedies interspersed between the game of intrigues, and the forbearing love gradually progresses, and finally the injustice is redressed, and the stolen moment of joy is made into a long-lasting day and night.
Intention: Even if the world is full of shackles, we must stick to our true intentions and friendship, support each other in desperate situations, and finally be able to clear the clouds and see the sun.
