Shuimu Tsinghua University

During the Qingyuan period of Da Yao, there was an undercurrent in the throne. The Taiyuan Li family secretly planned to overthrow the government. The second son Li Jing was ordered by his father to conceal his identity. He put on his beard and transformed into a traveling scholar and stayed dormant in Shuimu Academy. He used teaching and educating people to spy on the minds of the new generation of family members, and laid a long-term chess game. There was a collision under a locust tree in the market place, and he met Hong Lanning for the first time, who came from another world just to find a lost ancient medical book in Taoyuan. A shimmering token from another world tied them together for half their lives. At that time, he was hiding in the aristocratic family's palace, and she disguised herself as a man to avoid official interrogation, and they were just passers-by; when they met again in the academy, he accompanied her every day as a gentle teacher, and her heart was quietly moved, but she was trapped by the iron law of the Li family - the legitimate son of an aristocratic family was not allowed to marry a girl from a foreign land without roots. He was clearly aware that the family gap was insurmountable, so he hid all his affection in restrained protection. Hong Lanning had lived in the academy for a long time and was greedy for his gentleness in treating others equally. He had no idea that the gentle and bearded gentleman was the profound Taiyuan Li Jing that day. She devoted herself to finding a doctor and sneaked into the library many times, but she didn't know that the core medical records had already been borrowed by him. When the truth was revealed, she saw clearly that he was a man of conspiracy, and the two of them were pulled apart through disguises, lies, and family fate. The bond between another pair of teenagers in the academy also threatens the overall situation of the court: He Mailer, who was born as a merchant, was granted the title of uncle because of saving the emperor's eldest son, Sun Liheng. After entering the academy, he was prejudiced by his family and made things difficult for him. He and the eldest son of the general, Sima Zhui Kou, were tit-for-tat offensive and defensive opponents, and gradually developed a forbearing relationship. The Sima family has been in charge of military affairs for generations and has already formed a secret alliance with the Li family. He Mai is rooted in northern Xinjiang and belongs to the orthodox prince camp. The two are naturally opposed to each other. Their young minds are trapped in the chess game of their country and home. They look at each other from afar and can only express their thoughts to each other through seasonal clothes and distant poems and notes. Everyone's love is trapped by family status, camp, power, and barriers in other worlds. There is nothing wrong with being deeply affectionate, but if you live in a chess game in troubled times and are burdened by family shackles, your heartbeat becomes a sin that cannot be solved. Love is the only warmth in the heart, and it is also the deepest shackle that traps each other. Love and hate, family and country, power, and fate in a foreign land are intertwined, and the dilemma and regret of people who cannot help themselves are written down. Intention: Even if the rules of the world are restrictive, people can still maintain their gentle heart. Restraint, perfection, and two-way understanding are the only clean characters left in the muddy chess game.
