某大学文学史专业的学生张庆熟读古典名著,但他用现代观念剖析古代文学史的论文命题不被叶教授所认可。为了让叶教授成为自己的研究生导师,张庆决定通过写小说的方式,进一步阐述自己想要表达的观点。 在他的小说中,身世神秘的少年——范闲,自小跟随奶奶生活在海边小城澹州,随着一位老师的突然造访,他看似平静的生活开始直面重重的危机与考验。在神秘老师和一位蒙眼守护者的指点下,范闲熟识药性药理,修炼霸道真气并精进武艺,而后接连化解了诸多危局。因对身世之谜的好奇,范闲离开澹州,前赴京都。 在京都,范闲凭借过人的智谋与勇武成为年轻一代的佼佼者,他先以诗文冠绝京都,而后出使邻国,营救人质,整合谍报网,查处震动朝野的走私案……这个过程中,范闲饱尝人间冷暖并坚守对正义、良善的坚持,历经家族、江湖、庙堂的种种考验与锤炼,书写了光彩的人生传奇。In the twilight years of Eastern Jin, Liu Yu usurps the throne to become the founding emperor of the Liu Song dynasty. Consort Ye's newborn son is the only royalty to survive the bloody purge, and is adopted by the Imperial Secretariat Fan Jian. At the age of eighteen, Fan Xian's impending political marriage with a princess makes him extremely popular among the ambitious princes, though he carefully avoids joining any of the factions. Fan Xian is lauded for his loyalty to the emperor during two successive rebellions, though later discovers he is the biological son of the tyrannical ruler, and that Liu Yu was the one that sent assassins to kill his mother. For revenge as well as the peace of the kingdom, Fan Xian engages in a deadly political struggle with the emperor, and eventually succeeds in forcing Liu Yu to abdicate.
