Prologue

Historical records from later generations document that in the second year of the Wan Jin era, the newly appointed top scholar Dong Fang Fei entered the cabinet, subsequently rising swiftly to the position of Prime Minister. In the sixth year of Wan Jin, he was appointed by the Emperor himself as Prime Minister while concurrently holding the position of Minister of Rites, and was granted a noble title as an exception. The six ministries report directly to the Emperor, with the Ministry of Rites being the foremost among them. Dong Fang Fei became the first person in the Jin Bi dynasty to receive such an exception, wielding immense power with a flip of his hand. His character was corrupt, his methods ruthless, and he harmed loyal officials, establishing himself as the sole power within the court. Those officials who did not comply with him met with a tragic end. The name of Dong Fang Fei will be remembered with infamy for eternity.
