In the process of anti-eunuchging, the male protagonist unexpectedly discovered: Wei Zhongxian is not the biggest villain, and behind Wei Zhongxian, there is a mysterious person.
After Ji Xian broke all the conspiracy, he found out that this mysterious person was actually a widow, and he was in cahoots with Wei Zhongxian, trying to use the "secret treasure" ambergris to control the entire capital.

Yuan Xiangren also lives up to the name of a master, and the visual effects in the film are very creative, such as the fantasy elements such as the wormhole illusion and the thousand-handed mud boy in the film, which are eye-catching.
