Lin Xiao, a reclusive merchant who lived freely as a 'Top-Rank Commoner' among ordinary people, is suddenly summoned to the palace by the emperor's secret edict— the crown prince is framed for 'colluding with enemies and plotting rebellion,' and the powerful Left Prime Minister Qin Zhiheng seizes the opportunity to force a coup. To repay the emperor's life-saving grace, Lin Xiao enters the fray as a commoner, using street smarts to unravel court intrigue: forged battle reports, swapped secret letters, a feigning-mad old eunuch... Every step teeters on the edge of life and death. What's more unexpected is that Qin Zhiheng's daughter Su Wan secretly helps him— she hates her father's lust for power but falls for Lin Xiao's unclouded clarity. Just as Lin Xiao uncovers Qin Zhiheng's treason evidence, he discovers the emperor's 'critical illness' is actually a trap to lure out the real enemy... The game between a commoner and imperial power has only just begun.
