The cold and self-sufficient heroine from the Department of Philosophy falls in love in the Ming Dynasty. The difference in world outlook and love outlook leads the heroine to settle for second best because of the feudal system.
The heroine's father is based on Zhang Juzheng, and the male protagonist is based on Shen Shixing. So this is a story about the heroine's father constantly seizing power, and the hero having to endure it even more to gain a foothold in the court. Later, because of Wen Xin in his heart, he became opposed to the heroine's father. (Can't believe it all)
The names of Cui Peng, Li Chiyun and many people in the book are real. They simply sound nice and have no other meaning.
Concept: The male protagonist has a tragic fate, but the female protagonist accompanies him all the way to success.
