When the Inkstone Rises and the Evening Clears, the Mountains and Rivers Return to Peace

Shen Qingyan, the new top scholar in the imperial examination, became famous in Beijing, but because of his outspoken advice in the palace examination, he angered the tyrant Xiao Che and was forced to purge himself into the palace. Once his fortune was shattered, his dignity was destroyed, and he was so humiliated that he hid his hatred and lurked at the bottom of the palace, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. In the desperate situation of the palace, he met Su Wanqing, a doctor of modern agriculture and medicine who had traveled through time. She became a marginalized female doctor in the palace, and was regarded as a witchcraft by the world. The two saw through each other's extraordinary qualities, quietly formed an alliance, and relied on each other. Shen Qingyan secretly established an intelligence network by sorting out court documents and planned regicide for revenge. Su Wanqing used her medical skills to save people and gain people's hearts and strength to break the situation. The two have conflicting ideas. Shen Qingyan is obsessed with revenge, while Su Wanqing wants to use knowledge to improve the troubled times. When the tyrant became seriously ill, she gave up the assassination and took advantage of the opportunity to escape from the palace. The two were forced to flee the capital and live in the barren countryside. The two took root in the countryside and joined forces. Shen Qingyan used the wisdom of the court to deal with the government and clans and check and balance all forces; Su Wanqing promoted new farming, established a medical hall, and turned a barren village into a prosperous paradise. Their rise has attracted powerful and corrupt officials to covet them. The tyrant Xiao Che also regards the two of them as serious troubles and frequently sends troops to encircle and suppress them. After going through ups and downs, Shen Qingyan put aside his personal hatred and obsession, determined to overthrow the tyranny and reshape the country; Su Wanqing lost her idealism and childishness and moved forward pragmatically in troubled times. The two gradually fell in love and worked together to accumulate public support, financial resources and armed forces. When civil strife broke out in the dynasty, they came to the city to put an end to the tyranny and chaos in the name of clearing the emperor and bringing peace to the people. In the end, the two achieved great success, supporting the wise clan to ascend to power, cultivating thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and protecting the world.
