The story begins with a mysterious antique unveiling a long-buried past, taking us into Zhao Gao's youth. At that time, he was merely a boy neglected by his family, harboring dreams but unable to find a kindred spirit. By fate's arrangement, he met Ying Zheng, and the two hit it off, forging an unbreakable bond and sharing aspirations for the future. However, the power struggles of the court, like a complex chessboard, led Zhao Gao unwittingly into the vortex of power. Struggling with the expectations of his family, the betrayal of his close friends, and the harsh realities of politics, his inner world began to twist and deform, gradually deviating from his original intentions and heading down an unforeseen path. The book cleverly incorporates the fable of "waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump," suggesting that those seemingly accidental opportunities are like the alluring yet dangerous illusion of power that Zhao Gao pursued throughout his life.
