The big black and yellow world is a cage as precise as a clock. Spiritual energy is a gear, and living beings are firewood. The spiritual tide rises and falls for three thousand years, just to select the strong "Tao Seal" who are qualified to board the chessboard. All other living beings are abandoned.
Lu Chen is a porter in a border town who was born with a blocked spirit. His only possession is a rusty broken knife given to him by a lame veteran. He originally thought that his life would be to deliver letters, live, and wait for death. It wasn't until a dead letter involved him in a shocking conspiracy to forge a Taoist seal that he suddenly realized that the world he lived in was just a chessboard for big shots. And the broken knife on his body held the only key to the chessboard.
If the sword is broken, it can be recast, but if the heart is broken, there is nothing. The spiritual tide is about to rise, and all living beings are chess pieces, but I am willing to be the human knife that splits the chessboard.
