Xizhou Power Game

Lin Che, a modern young diplomat, accidentally traveled to the fictional dynasty "Dasheng" and became Xiao Jingyan, the seventh prince who was exiled to Xizhou in western Hunan. Due to the loss of power in his mother's family and his cowardly character, he was designed by the powerful officials in the court to be labeled as "immoral" and sent to a prison at the edge of the empire, which was like a political death sentence. After Xiao Jingyan (Lin Che) woke up, he faced a dilapidated palace, a few loyal servants, the covetous local Peng chieftain, and the cold decree from the capital that "if a year has passed, he can be recalled at his discretion." This decree may seem like hope, but it is actually a reminder. His political opponents will never let him spend this year in peace. The core of the story is to see how a soul with modern thinking can lay out details in this ancient land full of thorns, listen to thunder in silent places, and manage the exile step by step into the cornerstone of returning to the center of power. In the process, he completes the painful transformation from an idealist to a pragmatic reformer, and finally, together with his partners, plays a shocking chess game that overturns the court.
