Du Bai has a dream: to become a powerful minister and throw the court into chaos.
But it's hard to argue that this dream is anything but unscrupulous. So Du Bai decides to make his mark in an enemy kingdom instead, starting from scratch to become a powerful minister.
In this era of feuding warlords, Du Bai succeeds in making his way among the powerful and living in luxury.
But as a powerful minister, does he really have to handle so many government affairs? Does he really have to lead troops into battle? Does the emperor really have to entrust him with the government on his deathbed?
