After the emperor issued an edict, Shen Juyu put down his name in the Hanlin Academy and entered the East Palace to assume the important task of teaching the prince Mo Huaijin.
He is the left prime minister respected by everyone in the government and the public. He is calm and self-possessed, abides by the boundaries between monarch and minister, and teaches the young prince day after day how to balance the court and calm the people. He always kept the rules of the court and the dignity of the emperor and his ministers in mind. He deliberately maintained a distance and never dared to go beyond it.
When they first met, the prince was still young and ignorant, and he relied entirely on this calm and wise gentleman. During the long days and nights together, the young man's admiration slowly fermented into deep feelings. The battle for the heir apparent among the princes intensified, with relatives in the harem and factions in the court fighting against each other, and numerous open and covert arrows were directed at the immature prince.
Shen Juyu stood in front of him, resolving crisis after crisis for him, teaching him to be soft, learn to hide his emotions, and learn to weigh the pros and cons.
Watching the docile young man in the past gradually grow into a thoughtful prince, Shen Handuyu's heart was no longer as peaceful as before. Reason restrained him at all times. Their status as king and minister, and the burden of their family and country rested on their shoulders. He kept suppressing the feelings surging in his heart.
Mo Huaijin fully understands the truth that emperors are destined to be lonely. In such a vast and deep palace, Shen Juyu is his only weakness and confidence.
The world only saw that the monarch and his ministers were decent, and the master and his disciples were harmonious. No one knew what kind of restrained concerns were hidden behind the two people who took off their disguises in the East Palace late at night.
Huai Jin holds Yu, and Jin Yu depends on each other. One is responsible for all the people in the world, and the other spends the rest of his life helping each other. Deep in the intrigues of the court, they support each other, survive endless wind and rain, and guard these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers together.
Intention: Even if they are involved in the intrigues of the court, the two of them stick to their true intentions. The monarch and his ministers work together to protect the stability of the family and the country. They cherish each other while being restrained and forbearing, and live up to the people and their original aspirations.
