Origin Story

话说唐朝时期，一位名叫李白的诗人，才华横溢，深受皇帝赏识。然而，朝堂之上，党派倾轧，暗流涌动。李白虽得宠，却也因此得罪了不少权贵。这些权贵暗中结党，密谋陷害李白，想借此削弱皇帝的势力。他们利用各种手段散布谣言，诬陷李白，企图让皇帝对李白失去信任。李白对此浑然不觉，依然沉浸在诗歌创作中，浑然不觉危险正在逼近。他以为自己才华盖世，无人能敌，却忽略了这些暗藏的心腹重患。直到有一天，他被卷入一场宫廷斗争，才惊觉自己身处险境。这时，他后悔莫及，却为时已晚。这正是“心腹重患”的真实写照，看似繁华的表面下，往往隐藏着巨大的危机，而这种危机往往是致命的。

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a talented poet named Li Bai who was highly favored by the emperor. However, the imperial court was rife with factional struggles and undercurrents of conflict. Although Li Bai enjoyed the emperor's favor, he also offended many powerful nobles in the process. These nobles secretly conspired to frame Li Bai in an attempt to undermine the emperor's power. They spread rumors and slandered Li Bai, trying to make the emperor lose trust in him. Unaware of this danger, Li Bai remained immersed in his poetry, oblivious to the approaching peril. He believed in his unparalleled talent but overlooked these hidden threats. Only when he was caught in a palace intrigue did he realize his perilous situation. At this point, his regrets were too late. This is a true reflection of "a major hidden danger", a seemingly prosperous facade often hides huge crises, and these crises are often fatal.
