About This Novel

In Central Continent, the Four Kingdoms are in crisis. The combined forces of Jin and Qin were 300,000, and the beacon smoke suddenly rose in the north, and the Chu Kingdom was about to fall. He was Chu Yan, the abandoned son of the cold palace, who had been kept as a hostage in the border town for three years and suffered all the contempt. The court regarded him as useless, and his brothers wanted to kill him. However, he hid the thunder in his sleeves, secretly grasping the heart of Hanmen and forging an iron-blooded black armor. When the national crisis was imminent, he was ordered to lead his lone army northward when the army was defeated. The dynasty cut off its food and grass, intending to kill people with a knife; powerful enemies were waiting in front of the battle array, all of them were tigers and wolves. However, he used his extraordinary troops to burn the enemy's food, and flooded his cavalry with water. He even broke the chess game played by the princes: he united with Qi's merchants to control Qin and strengthened Qin; he collected refugees and reclaimed wasteland; he destroyed aristocratic families and promoted talents. From the captain of Huaiyin to the marquis of Zhenbei, he stepped into power step by step through blood and betrayal. At the same time, Su Qingyan, a talented girl from the Jin Kingdom, made an alliance with him to destroy her family. Qi Yueli, a female business leader from the East China Sea, bet on the rich and entangled his interests; Qin Xiao, an old enemy and confidant, struggled painfully between the destiny of the country and friendship. Conspiracy and betrayal go hand in hand, and friendship and ideals are tempered in the flames of war. This is the journey from chess piece to chess player. It is an epic story of how a man protects his loved ones and fulfills his oath of "wishing peace to the world" in the war of troubled times where intrigue, iron-blood, and tenderness are intertwined. See how Chu Yan takes the beacon as his piece in this chess game where the world is at stake and breaks the game to become the king. In troubled times, who will play chess? Who is the son? Let's look at the king of Chu, burning mountains and rivers.
