Phantom of Jingchen I 

Zhang Henshui”s The Phantom of Jingchen tells about Li Fengji, a down and out scholar, who was introduced to Beijing to seek a job. However, it was so difficult to find a job. He ran into a wall everywhere, and got nothing to live with. In the turbulent life, he gradually found the secret between being an official and making a fortune. So he used all kinds of despicable tricks, fawn upon the influential people, and cast himself under the Yan Clan of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries to obtain an official position and a part-time position. He also used his power to do all the evil things and enrich his own pockets. Tang Yan was suddenly defeated politically, and a group of mobs around him were scattered.
