[Cold and stubborn to break the situation × cold outside and hot inside, dormant attack]
In the eighth year of Jingkang's reign, the new champion Yun Guixiu showed his talent and was framed by the powerful, and almost died in prison.
An imperial decree tied him to his mortal enemy, Chu Xuandu, the son of the prime minister, and they went to Jiangnan to investigate a shocking corruption case.
The water in the south of the Yangtze River is murky, and officials and businessmen collude, killing each other at every step.
Yun Guixiu holds the emperor's handwritten letter and vows to purge the world; Chu Xuandu, as a chess piece of a wealthy family, hides secrets at every step.
The two had their own hidden agendas and hindered each other, but in their narrow escapes from death, they glimpsed the true face behind each other's masks.
From riding in the same car to experiencing ups and downs together, they joined forces to tear apart the intricate network of influence of the Chu family.
However, overthrowing a Chu family was just the prelude to the turmoil of the Wei Dynasty.
The undercurrent in the court is far more turbulent than the turbid water in the south of the Yangtze River. A bigger storm about the reserve and the country is quietly approaching.
In this game that started in the south of the Yangtze River, should we use the sword to kill someone, or should we become a confidant?
When ideals collide with intrigues, and when birds fall into cages, can they find a way to the light in the whirlpool of power?
Intention: I prove that my ideals are immortal; I prove that my love is never extinguished
