This is a satirical black comedy adapted from the classic work "The Officialdom Unveiled" of the late Qing Dynasty. The screenwriter exposes the greedy, ugly, and dark nature of humanity through the absurd behaviors of the characters in the play. It portrays the corruption and ugliness of the officialdom in feudal society through the evolution of a master-servant relationship. The entire series features over 100 named actors, with national treasures from both the north and south making appearances, making it a star-studded adaptation of a historical classic. With no integrity among scholars and no righteousness to be found, interests cloud judgment; not only are there misattributions, but also embezzlement of offices and collusion between officials and businessmen, doing everything possible for personal gain. The secrets of the "thick and black" principles of officialdom—visible and colorful, visible but colorless, invisible and colorless—are presented vividly in the drama. It’s a satirical black comedy.
