Cheng Hao, a history college student in the 21st century, accidentally traveled to the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty and became Cheng Yaojin of Wagang Village. With modern knowledge and understanding of history, Cheng Hao rose rapidly in troubled times, but he discovered that the direction of history was not static, and the power struggles in the late Sui Dynasty were far more complex and cruel than recorded in history books. Cheng Hao tried to use his foresight to get both sides, but he fell into a bigger conspiracy. It turns out that what he traveled to was not real history, but a chess game in troubled times controlled by mysterious forces. In one life-and-death crisis after another, Cheng Hao gradually discovered that he was involved in a shocking secret, and his identity as "Cheng Yaojin" was the key to unlocking this secret. In order to get rid of the fate of the chess pieces, Cheng Hao decided to change his fate. He united all forces and launched a desperate struggle with the mastermind behind the scenes. In the end, Cheng Hao relied on wisdom and courage to break the shackles of fate, uncover the truth of history, and find a way to return to the original world, but a more difficult choice was placed in front of him.
