The Ming Dynasty was an era of great temptation and expanding desires.

There are powerful ministers and arrogant sycophants, there are gentlemen and scoundrels; there are loyal ministers' death remonstrances and there are also eunuchs who are crazy... It is this paranoid family that has uncovered the fog of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years and left for future generations an unpredictable Ming Dynasty with unlimited imagination.
