Of course, since it's a power struggle, things need to be done, so Xu Lin also set up several major events around the struggle of the three princes, including several major domestic cases and foreign diplomatic events.

This is just a simple story outline. Xu Lin's inspiration is surging, madly throwing out settings and unleashing his talents.

No way, he has Divine Penmanship.

Stories, characters, etc., Xu Lin has to set them one by one.

What about power scheming?

This is even more important. Xu Lin has even been reading the Twenty-Four Histories. The games our ancestors played are all recorded in the history books, so Xu Lin has quite an understanding of power scheming and writes with ease.

The initial script took Xu Lin more than two hours to write 40,000 words.

But this is just the initial script. Xu Lin still has to continue to refine it.

"I'll research it in more detail later, no rush."

A year and a half's deadline is very ample, and now he has even completed the first draft.

It's Sunday night now, and the few days before New Year's Day are enough for Xu Lin to finish it.

The next day arrived as scheduled.

This is the last week of December. Some courses are almost finished, with only a few courses left with the last lesson of the semester.

Therefore, this week is not as full of classes almost every day as before.

Like on this Monday, there was only one math class in the morning and no class in the afternoon, and Tuesday? There were no classes on Tuesday morning, and no classes were scheduled for the afternoon, so it was a whole day's break.

Xu Lin didn't remain idle, spending these two days with Ning Yuhuan at the city library. Ning Yuhuan was already in review week this week with no classes at all.

So, in these two days, Xu Lin finished reading the remaining four histories of Liao, Jin, Yuan, and Ming from the Twenty-Four Histories, finally completing his plan to read through the Twenty-Four Histories before the end of the year.

After reading the Twenty-Four Histories, Xu Lin had many reflections, feeling as if he had already surveyed the long river of time and appreciated the myriad forms of the ancients.

"Reading history for three thousand years, it's all about fame and fortune; realizing the way for ninety thousand miles, it ultimately returns to poetry, wine, and pastoral life."

This sentence is said to be a couplet at Nan Huaijin's home, summarizing the ultimate pursuit of generations of Huaxia people over these thousands of years.

Xu Lin also had many reflections.

He felt that he could seriously revise his script again.

He needs to write about people's fervent pursuit of fame and fortune, and also about their yearning for the pastoral ideal of poetry and distant lands.

In Xu Lin's view, an excellent TV series should have a sufficiently abundant and excellent spiritual core.

"Let me think..."

After pondering for a while, Xu Lin decided to inject some more elements into the script.

He wanted to add another dedicated person from the martial world, who, after witnessing the people's suffering, follows a capable person and together they join under a minister serving the Third Prince. This capable person was initially also an aspiring individual with a great ideal of saving people from fire and water, but was gradually corrupted and decayed by power.

Xu Lin set the final victor as the Third Prince, who aspires to make the country better and successfully rules the world.

However, the obstacles are too great. Once he ascends the throne, he finds that the country is already in a state of disrepair, and the mess left by the old Emperor or ancestors is not something he can handle.

Xu Lin's setting of the Jing Dynasty is in the later stage of a feudal dynasty, heavily burdened and unable to return to its former state, rolling towards historical cyclicality, with the question not being whether the country will fall, but how long it can survive.

The newly set dedicated person from the martial world is an observer. He watches the person he follows become a dragon of evil, and sees those he once struggled with be blinded by power, wealth, and beauty, corrupting their hearts and defiling their nature.

Ultimately, this aspiring observer feels powerless and decides to retreat to pastoral life, away from worldly strife.

Within the grand theme of historical scheming, a touch of the root thoughts of Huaxia people was added for color.

After all, as long as one is Huaxian, there are more or less thoughts of retiring to pastoral life in their heart. Xu Lin thus used this element to color the conclusion.

However, this retreat to pastoral life is an act of helplessness, in literary terms, it is to deepen the theme and criticize society and so on.

Regarding this, Xu Lin feels that this is about right.

At this point, the creation of a script can be considered to have completed its overall framework.

Xu Lin has refined the core ideas of the script quite a bit, highlighting the core concept of historical cyclicality.

The so-called historical cyclicality has only one answer, which is the phrase: "What of the Six Dynasties? Merely private strategies of factions."

People were lustful three thousand years ago, and people still are three thousand years later.

The wheel of history rolls forward, productivity keeps developing, but human nature has never changed.

Thus, in Xu Lin's script, the portrayal of human nature is also heavy.

"When the time comes, find a channel to sell the script, but can my script even pass the review once filmed?"

Xu Lin feels that what he wrote is too explicit.

His script surely won't have issues because it's a matter of ability. He, being a "cheat player," naturally wouldn't write a bad script.

But, can this thing be made into a TV series?

There's actually quite a lot of explicit content inside.

Like "The Great Ming Dynasty 1566," which nearly didn't pass review due to its themes being too profound and human nature too complex. Overall, it went through quite a bit of trouble before it was finally aired.

Xu Lin's current power scheming drama is in this vein, even more explicit in some places.

"Forget it, we'll see when the time comes."

If someone picks up Xu Lin's script and then someone invests, he could make a lot of money.
