Powerful Lord

It has been a hundred and sixty years since the founding of Daqian, but under the surface of the prosperous times, it has long been rotten. The nobles monopolize official careers, the imperial power is in name only, local powerful people and the powerful in the court are connected in a network, and the people of the world are treated as fish and meat on the chopping block. In Anping County, Yunzhou, Lu Chen, a concubine whose scholarly family fell into disrepair, was taken to court as a scapegoat by his family at the beginning, just to preserve the dignity of the county's respected son and the clan. Everyone thought that he would die obediently and become another silently annihilated dust in this world. But they didn't know that this docile and respectful young man for sixteen years had already sharpened his fangs in the dark. In the courtroom, he used the crime game as a chess to backhand the game between various forces; in prison, he used prisoners as bait to weave the first dark web of his own. From scapegoating and abandoning his son to plotting masterminds in prison, from a small official in a county to an important minister in a feudal state, to taking charge of the central government and reshaping the order of the world - every step of his promotion was based on blood and fire, and every calculation was danced on the tip of a knife. There is no system, no time travel, no adventure from the sky. All he has is an almost evil mind forced out by the world, and a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts. Beauties are not vases, they are all players playing chess side by side; enemies are not fools, they are all just stepping on the ladder. This is the story of a poor man who climbed up from the mud, did the most ruthless things with the gentlest attitude, and finally stepped on this decadent dynasty and rebuilt the world.
