Synopsis
The third prince, Qi Shuo, has long been disheartened by the high-walled imperial power. His mother and concubine died young and his legs were ailing. He just wanted to live a stable life away from the court and protect the safety of the few people around him. Until the young chaperone Shen Yan appeared again, dressed in a green shirt, with a light in his eyes that was incompatible with this decadent court. Like a stone thrown into stagnant water, it disrupted his life again. Shen Yan, a sixth-rank petty official who traveled through time, went to Beijing to report on his duties and saw that the prefect of Xuzhou was ignoring the flooding of the Yellow River and the people of Li were displaced. With a lonely courage, he wanted to seek a chance for the common people. With an ideal that did not belong to this era, he actually rushed to the disaster area as an imperial envoy with a lonely courage. But the deeper you go, the more frightened you become: this era is so rotten - officials are corrupt, the prince is ignorant, Mongolia and Liaodong are eyeing the country outside the country, but the court emphasizes culture over military affairs, and the armaments are depleted. Even the man who occupies the imperial throne seems to be manipulating the fate of everyone on the chessboard, and he is gradually involved in the whirlpool of the court. He suddenly realized that only by supporting a truly worthy monarch could this absurd world end. "I want everyone to have food to eat, clothing to wear, and no more war and displacement." Shen Yan looked at the tragic situation of the victims and whispered the word "Datong" like thunder that broke Qi Shuo's silence. He suddenly understood that An An, who was sitting back and watching, could not protect Shen Yan's ideals, nor could he be sorry for those who silently protected him. And Shen Yan also saw clearly that this "family world" dynasty could not tolerate his dreams. Only by supporting a monarch who cares about the common people to ascend the throne can it be possible to tear away the darkness. When the traveler's ideal collides with the prince's awakening, and when the lonely hero encounters his weakness, they finally choose to work together - one wants to help the other person ascend to the top of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the other wants to support the other person in realizing his ideal. The court is full of fog, the border is approaching, Qi Shuo's wheelchair runs through the palace road, and Shen Yan's footsteps traverse the mountains and rivers. Can they fight for a way out for each other and the world in this turbulent era? One is asking about the way of heaven for the common people, and the other is plotting for protection. When loneliness and bravery meet gentleness, when the heart of helping the world meets the love of protecting one's shortcomings, they will eventually join hands to open a path to new life in this decadent dynasty. Purpose: Taking the encounter and companionship between the prince Qi Shuo and the time traveler Shen Yan as the main line, it explores the collision between individual ideals and the dilemma of the times in the context of the decadent feudal dynasty. Shen Yan embraces the ideal of great harmony of "everyone has food and clothing and no war" and tries to break the shackles of "one family and one world"; Qi Shuo, from hiding from the world to awakening, is determined to fight against Shen's illness with his own strength in order to protect the people and beliefs he cherishes. The choice and perseverance of the two people not only show their concern for the suffering of the people and their pursuit of fairness and justice, but also reflect the courage to find light in the darkness - even in a desperate situation where power and intrigue are intertwined and foreign threats surround them, there are still people who strive to move forward for the "university of the world" in their hearts, demonstrating the warmth of humanity and the weight of ideals in difficulties.
