The background of the early Tang Dynasty (from the Wude to Zhenguan years). In the early years of the dynasty, internal and external troubles were intertwined. Local clans and residual forces of separatism still existed. There were many obstacles to the implementation of the New Deal.
Su Wangshu: Born in a famous family, the clan is powerful, and he was raised in a small clan. His name Wangshu comes from Qu Yuan's "Li Sao" "Wangshu is the pioneer." Looking at the peace of his family and country, Wangshu implements the New Deal and has the world in mind.
Xiao Ce: Born as a businessman, his family has huge wealth, is being watched by people from all walks of life, and is surrounded by dangers. His parents and beloved son are discriminated against by the system. Although he has a huge family fortune, he is humble in name and powerful in reality. He longs to break through class restrictions, practices martial arts since he was a child, and has high martial arts skills.
Su Wangshu, a noble girl from a wealthy family, has been knowledgeable and open-minded since she was a child. She has been influenced by her family. She longs to join the court and implement reforms so that the people can live a peaceful and contented life. Unfortunately, she has never found the opportunity. By chance, while visiting the lake in spring, she encounters a remnant force assassinating the household department of the current court. Li Chongxun, a doctor, unexpectedly rescued a doctor from the household department, entered the official career, and implemented reforms. However, he was faced with many difficulties. The doctor who saved the household department got to know Xiao Ce by fate. They joined forces many times to successfully implement reforms and strangle the dark forces. The two went from prejudice and opposition to tacit cooperation, trusting each other in life and death, and staying together as confidants.
Intention: high mountains and flowing water, people live in peace
