The sky was full of wind and snow, and the prison car drove towards the desolate northern border. An exiled young man woke up from a coma. He is the last bloodline of the once-prominent Xiao family after committing "collaboration with the enemy and treason". And deep in the soul, another voice quietly awakens - the memory and cold wisdom of a modern special forces instructor, integrated with his flesh and blood.
The former wealthy family was completely destroyed by a sudden "conspiracy to kill the clan". Is the Xiao family really guilty, or are they victims of a power game? Why is there an unspeakable secret hidden behind the imperial edict that implicates everyone? The army escorting him was unexpectedly ambushed, and he survived the chaos. He became anonymous from then on, but found that a conspiracy affecting the entire Yun Dynasty gradually surfaced.
Above the court, the shadows of powerful ministers are entwined like poisonous snakes; outside the borders, foreign enemies are ready to move; in the darkness of the rivers and lakes, there is a group of mysterious forces called "faceless", playing chess games in the dark. Xiao Yunxiao must wander on the edge of life and death, choosing between truth and falsehood. Will he seek revenge, or will he rise up and write his own legend?
In this murderous Yunchao land, every step he takes is like stepping on the tip of a knife. And the only thing he can rely on is a heart colder than the wind and snow, and a plan to instigate the world...
The truth about the family, the reversal of fate, and the future of the world are all part of his chess game.
