Lin Zhao, a poor scholar, failed the imperial exam. He got drunk at night but was abducted into the Xingqing Palace—it turned out that Consort Zhao, the emperor's favorite, wanted him to be her "toy boy pawn" to fight against the powerful prime minister. Lin Zhao, who originally planned to escape, accidentally discovered the consort's hidden family vendetta and unlocked the political strategy notes left by his father. From a despised "vase male favorite" to helping the consort expose traitors, overthrow the prime minister, and secretly unite upright officials to control the court, Lin Zhao gradually reversed his role as a pawn. When everyone thought he was the consort's附庸, he had already stood at the peak of power. And their bond, from "mutual exploitation" to "sharing life and death", became the strongest wine in the treacherous court.
