Shen Yan, a Xiaoqi man in Fusi, Beizhen, was framed as a treasonous enemy and locked into the death row of the imperial edict. His internal strength was exhausted and he was about to be silenced that night.
He has no unparalleled magical powers, only a mind that can calculate everything and an eye for seeing through people's hearts.
He faked his death to escape, used conspiracy as an edge to instigate internal strife within the sect, used the power of factional strife in the court, and pressed on step by step in a series of schemes, dragging the enemies into the abyss one by one.
Jianghu sects are chess pieces, and the powerful officials in the court are opponents. From being an ant in prison to being a powerful man in rich robes, he determines the Jianghu with his wisdom and controls the mountains and rivers with his power.
