Yi Xin

Chen Xun, a modern doctoral student, traveled through the Dawu Dynasty's Zhenguo Palace and became a well-known dandy prince in Beijing. He hides his clumsiness under the pretext of drinking and sex, but in fact he uses his extraordinary calculation power to deduce strategies and maneuver in the chess game in troubled times. At that time, the empress was young, the imperial uncle Jing's power was in the hands of both the government and the public, private soldiers were secretly plotting against her, the aristocratic families were intertwined, the vassal towns were eyeing her, and there was an undercurrent in the court. Chen Xun used Sun Tzu's Art of War to lay out the overall situation, used thirty-six strategies to break the dilemma, relied on Taoist techniques to hide his edge, and stirred up the storm in the shadow of the sword - a chance encounter with a hidden edge in a brothel, the winning or losing of a gambling house calculated people's hearts, the ingenious plot of a lonely city, and the secret words in the court. He is a loser in everyone's eyes and a chess player in the dark. When extraordinary intelligence meets a cunning and intuitive opponent, when rational deduction encounters the irrational variables of the human heart, will the outcome of this power game be determined by calculation, or will love and justice break the chess game?
