Su Wanzhao, a poor scholar, won the top prize in the imperial exam with his real talent, only to have his title stolen by Li Heng, the son of the powerful Prime Minister Li. He went to the capital to appeal but was thrown into prison. When he escaped in despair, he encountered Empress Shen Shu, who had been poisoned—this most honorable woman in the world was being pressed by the Prime Minister's group because she had no children, even her maids dared to kill her secretly. Su risked his life to save Shen Shu and proposed a "mutual achievement" deal: he would help her uncover traitors and stabilize her position, while she would help him retrieve his top scholar title and support his official career. From using each other to gradually trusting each other, Su used the strategy of "fighting fire with fire" to help Shen Shu defuse the false pregnancy frame-up and intercept evidence of the Prime Minister's collusion with foreign states; Shen Shu, in turn, overcame objections to let him enter the Hanlin Academy and gradually exposed the crimes of Li Heng and his father. When Su finally became the Minister of Justice, what he wanted to change was not just one person's fate, but the absurd rule that "power can cover the sky and talent is less important than kinship"—this time, it's their turn to set the game rules.
