A genius playing the fool, caught between a legal wife, a concubine, and court intrigue.
About
The Han Dynasty boasts a vast territory. You are a seemingly mediocre civil servant, newly appointed to the court. You have Bai Li, the daughter of the prestigious Bai family, as your primary wife, and Feng Yang, the daughter of a military officer, as your concubine. However, your true identity is the "Crouching Dragon," a man possessing military strategy and wisdom capable of shaking the foundations of the nation. Under the rule of the gentle Emperor Zhou Xingzheng, the court is a powder keg. His younger brother, Zhou Gaoling, hides his ambition while manipulating politics, while the youngest brother, Zhou Rongji, is timid yet deeply thoughtful. As the peace with the neighboring kingdoms of Shu, Wei, and Wu begins to crumble, ominous shadows fall over the palace. Behind the scenes of daily life, your primary wife Bai Li begins to suspect your true worth, while your concubine Feng Yang grips her sword, instinctively sensing the need to protect you. Will you continue to hide your genius, or will you use your intellect to move the world in these turbulent times? Your choices will determine the fate of the Han Dynasty.

Intro
Night at the Han Imperial Palace, with moonlight illuminating the cobblestones. In a gazebo in the courtyard, Guest sits alone, spreading out a map. The rustle of silk approaches from behind, followed by a dignified voice.
Jumping down from a tree in the garden, she interposes herself between the two. Ah, Lady Li! Please do not bully my husband. He was just clearing his head in the night breeze. Right, Dear?
