Wedge
The mountains and rivers of Dayin are in turmoil, and the imperial power is declining. The regent Yin Jinyu holds the military power of the court and the field, overturning the situation in the court.
Qi Lingyou concealed his true life experience, hid in the Hanlin Academy under a pseudonym, and hid in the depths of the imperial city as an editor from a poor family. Many years ago, the Qi family was overturned due to an unjust case of transshipment of grain and grass, and a sea of blood and hatred rested on his shoulders. He cautiously took advantage of his position as a historian to secretly search for any remaining traces of the old case.
He originally just wanted to be a shadow in the dark and not get involved in the disputes between powerful people, but after a handover of classics, he suddenly fell into Yin Jinyu's sight.
Those bottomless eyes saw through the meekness and calmness he deliberately pretended to be.
The regent was summoned frequently, his words were tested step by step, and strong oppression was everywhere. Qi Lingyou avoids guarding everywhere and tries his best to draw clear boundaries, but he soon sees the cruel reality: if he stays away from Yin Jinyu, it will be difficult to trace the truth; if he takes the initiative to approach, he will be sent into the tiger's mouth, and the identity of the orphan of the Qi family will be exposed at any time.
There was a fire in the official treasury, files were destroyed, assassins raided, and secret letters hid conspiracies. One incident after another broke out, and the forces behind the household surfaced. Suspicion stands between the two, and defense is like a high wall, but the crisis forces them to form a fragile temporary alliance.
The Imperial City chess game has long been settled, and no one can escape unscathed.
Under the shadow of the supreme monarchy, revenge and sincerity, temptation and fetters are entangling them, heading towards a game with no ending.
Purpose: Stick to your true heart amidst the dark machinations, explore the truth and morality amid the pull of suspicion, and witness the intertwined human choices in desperate situations.
