A top scholar bought with money is actually summoned into the imperial court personally by the emperor. Jiang Xiaobai originally wanted to continue being his playboy heir, only to discover that three years ago his elder brother's blood spilled on the battlefield with layer upon layer of suspicious points, and the marquis's estate has long been deep in the trap. Poetry gathering clashes, front-of-hall mutual tests, powerful officials playing games, and the imperial family's dark plots follow one after another. Everyone thinks he is just a brainless wastrel, yet they do not know that this most unremarkable playboy is quietly seeing through the entire chessboard. From a playboy top scholar to a new favorite in the imperial court, from investigating his elder brother's cause of death to overturning the imperial family's dark plots, Jiang Xiaobai used the most unremarkable posture to play the biggest game.
