In the first year of Chunxi, Wu Ting returned to Shu and regained military power in Xingzhou.

Zhao Du, an official of the Jisufang, recruited Meng Xiao, a young nobleman from Chengdu Prefecture, to serve the imperial court in order to curb the influence of the Wu clan's Xingzhou Metropolitan Command.

The Meng family had been merchants for four generations, and once allied with the Wu clan to monopolize the tea and alcohol business. Now, "Counselor Zhao" wanted him to become the Wu family's weakness.

The first volume of this novel details the background and origins that Zhao Du ordered "me" to write for Meng Xiao: fabricating Meng Xiao's noble background and presenting "evidence" that his grandfather was imprisoned for fraudulent practices and later bailed out by military personnel.

The second volume describes Zhao Du's scheme to frame Meng Xiao, forcing him to flee in disgrace and seek refuge with the imperial court.
