The mountains and rivers are broken and settled in a corner. An auditor at Linchuan Academy who had no academic status offended the powerful Lu family during a school debate. With a blocking order, no one in the county dared to vouch for him; with a trap, his father was involved in the vortex of embezzling military supplies. The road to the imperial examination has not yet begun, but it is already besieged on all sides. Everyone thought this young man would bow his head. But he knocked on a closed door in the rain. From Linchuan to the capital, from the court to the court, he stepped into the center of power. And in the darkness, a bamboo stick had been knocking the signal for seventeen years, waiting for him to hear it.
