Shen Nan transmigrated to the Great Li dynasty and became its newly crowned top scholar, only to discover that he was part of a treacherous faction. When the empress, afflicted with a deadly poison, asked him for help, Shen Nan decided that rather than help the faction grow stronger, he might as well seize control of the court and rule alone! And so, the Great Li court gained a peculiar official. He lined his own pockets, frequented brothels, persecuted loyal ministers, and sold official posts! Yet the ministers couldn’t understand why Great Li’s national strength kept growing, its borders grew ever more secure, and its enemies grew fewer and fewer… That is, until the empress appeared in court, holding the hand of three-year-old Shen Nan. The ministers were heartbroken. Shen Nan had ruined the nation beyond repair!
