In the third year of Taiping's reign in Dayin, three rivers burst their embankments, causing famine in nine provinces. Han Zhao, a ruthless Legalist official, was ordered to provide relief, but he dug out a bronze compass inscribed with "Yinghuo Shou Xin" under the river embankment. Fifteen years later, Han Zhao's adopted son Han Feique inherited the theory of punishment. While investigating a fraud case in the imperial examination, he met Bai Wuguo, a descendant of the political strategist's family who was disguised as a man. The two set off a bloody storm in the court, and the collision of Legalist ethics and Guigu's power skills produced countless bloody sparks. Xie Mingyi, a Confucian gentleman, wrote and stood in the middle, watching his close friends gradually become fire and water: Han Feique used the law as a blade to cut off the lifeline of the family, and Bai Wuguo used his body as a bait to stir up the war situation of the Seven Kingdoms. When the Legalist bronze medallion was stained with the blood of loyal ministers, and when the vertical and horizontal chessboard was covered with the bones of the common people, Xie Mingyi knelt in front of the Tai Chi Hall holding "Spring and Autumn", only to see two blood-stained memorials presented at the same time - Han Feique confessed his thirteen capital crimes, and Bai Wugu revealed his identity as the Seven Kingdoms Master. During the winter solstice, two coffins at the Suzaku Gate stood side by side. Xie Mingyi stroked the intertwined sword marks on the coffin and vaguely saw Bai Wuguo folding the "Three Character Classic" copied by Han Feique into paper kites under the crabapple tree in Jixia Academy.
Purpose: To explore the eternal paradox between persistence of ideas and warmth of human nature, and to deconstruct the dual alienation of institutions and human nature in the historical process.
