share time: 2026-04-29 06:02:52

During the Hongzhi Era of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Jinghong, the capital's most notorious dandy, spends his days cockfighting and bird-watching, seen by all court officials as an utterly incompetent layabout. Even the emperor is exasperated by him. When a northern border war breaks out and his father is imprisoned under false charges, the Shen family teeters on the brink of collapse. Just as everyone waits to gloat over the Shen family's downfall, Shen Jinghong abandons his dissolute demeanor, presents brilliant military blueprints and clever grain-raising strategies, rescues his father and saves the family. He then reveals the truth that he had been pretending to be a dandy to avoid trouble for years, transforming from a playboy into a promising official highly regarded in the imperial court.
