- Summary: Li An transmigrates to the Great Qi dynasty and becomes a spy from Northern Yan. Poisoned with a deadly toxin, he can only prolong his life by sabotaging Great Qi’s national fortune. And so, the Great Qi court gains a most unconventional “traitorous minister.” He is greedy for wealth and lustful for beauty. He forms cliques and engages in factional scheming. He even proposes countless outrageous “doom-the-nation” strategies that shock the court. But strangely enough… Great Qi’s treasury grows fuller and fuller. Great Qi’s borders become more and more secure. Great Qi’s territory expands wider and wider. When the Empress lowers herself to marry him, and Li An stands atop the Fengshan Altar, watching envoys from countless nations kneel and hail him as emperor, he can only sigh helplessly: “Back then, I really just wanted the antidote… How did this country become so impossible to ruin?”
