In the last years of the Yong Dynasty, the imperial court was in decline. There were border bandits knocking on the pass outside and vassal towns watching from inside.
Shen Weiyuan is the orphan of a guilty minister. She lives in the prime minister's house as a low-level servant. She is a woman hidden under a blue shirt. She is good at observing people's hearts and is good at writing documents. She is full of calculations just to save the remaining members of her clan.
Xiao Yan is the censor Zhongcheng who was raised by the emperor. He passed the exam at a young age, is cold-faced and decisive, and holds the power of picket. He is the sharpest knife in the court. He only sees the pros and cons of the country, does not believe in human relationships, and does not believe that women can seek state affairs.
When they first met, each thought the other was an exploitable pawn.
In the stormy and troubled times, they were wary of each other and dismantled each other. While calculating the power of the court, they saw clearly the unquenched love for family and country in each other's flesh and blood.
Love is not the icing on the cake, it is the bond between two sober people between the swords and the light.
Listening to more leaks at night, frost falling all over the steps, it is the storm of the family and the country, and it is also the ups and downs of people's hearts.
