Pan Cai, a boy from a poor peasant family, lived in poverty for ten years. However, on the eve of the palace examination, Li Mubai, the son of the Minister of Rites, had his examination papers changed and was falsely accused of being the main culprit of the imperial examination fraud. He was wrongly questioned and executed. On the execution ground, a bamboo slip containing the lost secrets of vertical and horizontal helped him fake death and escape. Once reborn, he returned to three months before the tragedy. After his rebirth, Pan Cai was no longer an ignorant scholar who only knew books from sages. He holds a pen in his left hand and wields the secret technique of control in his right hand. Relying on the precise layout of his past life memories, he first exposed Li Mubai's fraud conspiracy and ruined his reputation. Then he took refuge in Zhou Zheng, the upright imperial censor who was framed by others in his previous life, and became his confidant. But he soon discovered that Li Mubai was just a pawn, and the real mastermind behind the scenes was Zhang Weiyuan, the official secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who controlled the imperial examinations and formed cliques for personal gain. With his white clothed body, he was able to overthrow a second-level powerful official within three months. Once he failed, both he and his benefactor would be doomed. Pan Cai used the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation to maneuver around the court, relying on his chief assistants, eunuchs and spies from the Imperial City Department to lay a dragnet. On the day of the palace examination, he presented irrefutable evidence in court, overthrew the powerful traitor, and was selected as the number one scholar. But when the glory came, he tore up the edict of the number one scholar in public. He has long seen through that the emperor who acquiesces to darkness and the corrupt and unfair system are the real prisons. His goal has never been to become a powerful man, but to take charge of the chess game in white clothes, overthrow the decadent dynasty, and seek justice for the poor families in the world.
