The Weakest in the World

If you don't have the power to restrain a chicken, how can you bring peace to the world? In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, at Qingxi Academy, there lived a scholar who was "the weakest in the world". His name is Su Yan. He is as thin as a bamboo and has a photographic memory, but he cannot carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. A chance encounter and a volume of broken letters dragged him into the treacherous undercurrent of the court. He is both a chess player and a chess piece. From an academy boy to an emperor's staff, from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to negotiating with the Six Nations, he was unarmed, but he used his tongue as a sword and his strategy as a shield. Salt tax, corruption, battles for heirs, border wars... Every crisis is a chess game he plays step by step. "I don't rely on swords, I rely on eyes that can see through people's hearts and a mouth that dares to tell the truth." Life experience is a mystery, the truth is like a knife. His father died in vain, his mentor's name is unknown, and even his own origins are shrouded in mystery. When the past comes to light, he chooses to use wisdom to clear his wrongs instead of paying blood for blood. The most warmth in the world is all around you. The childhood sweetheart, the female doctor, the sincere prince, the secretive wife, the prince of Beirong who is both an enemy and a friend... In this cold and majestic stage, what he protects is always the original warmth. "You say I'm weak?" Su Yan chuckled while holding the chess piece, landing the last piece. "But the general trend of the world is in the hands of a 'weak' like me." An ancient novel of pure wisdom without force or system. See how the "weakest" scholar can use wisdom as a blade, talk and laugh to determine the situation, and warm the country with warmth.
