Xia Wanlin, a once carefree rich lady, lost her loved ones overnight and her family was wronged. With deep-seated hatred and endless questions, she discovered that all the clues seemed to point to the aloof Ningcheng City Lord—Xiao Yinji. He is a hero respected by the people of Ningcheng, and he is also the core of the chess game that carries the fetters of his family.
Xiao Yinji, whose parents died in battle when he was young, was adopted and raised by the old city lord. He won the emperor's trust with his integrity, fearlessness and loyalty, and guarded the border with his great military exploits and outstanding intelligence. However, despite his seeming coldness, he could not let go of his deep love for his former childhood sweetheart Xia Wanlin. But driven by fate, he married Xiao Ruanyu, the daughter of his adoptive mother, putting him on the opposite side of emotion and responsibility.
In repeated contests and trials, Xia Wanlin gradually uncovered the conspiracy behind her family, but found that the truth behind the conspiracy was far crueler than she had imagined. Xiao Yinji, is he a guardian or a traitor? Can the line between loyalty and love be crossed?
When Ningcheng is in trouble again, the undercurrent of the prince Xiao Yinqin is surging. It is difficult to distinguish between enemies and friends, and every move on the chessboard hides murderous intent. In the end, can Xia Wanlin vindicate her family? And in this fateful chess game, is Xiao Yinji her enemy or her only ally?
