Cranes Perched on Cold Branches

In the 19th year of Yongning, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the undercurrent of the three-thousand-mile imperial city surged. Song Zhaohan, a counselor from a poor family, shocked the government and the public with his "Policy to Cut Down the Vassals", but he didn't know that he was already an outcast in the chess game—— The wealthy family wanted to use his head to sacrifice the flag, the powerful eunuchs and ministers wanted to use his hard work to pave the way, and even the young emperor on the dragon throne used him as a blade to stir up trouble. Lin Hezhi, the direct son of the Langya Lin family, was born to be a guest in the clouds. Everyone knows that he is as bright as the moon and his sleeves are filled with breeze, but no one knows that there is a blood-stained crane feather sword hidden in his sleeve. When he went south to investigate the case under a secret order, he personally lifted Song Zhaohan's chessboard, but at the moment when the opponent fell into the cold river, he accidentally grabbed the thin piece of green shirt. "Master Lin wants to save his enemy?" Song Zhaohan choked with blood and laughed. "If Mr. Song dies, who should be responsible for the three hundred thousand wronged souls in Jiangnan?" Lin Hezhi lowered his eyes and clasped his wrist bones, and the white crane's dark pattern flashed with murderous intent, "Not to mention——" I want you to see with your own eyes how the wise king you sacrificed your life to serve has cut out your flesh and blood and broken your spine. ◆Two male protagonists, love-oriented, mainly plotting, with a small amount of two-way redemption ◆The lone wolf of the beautiful and powerful miserable family (Song Zhaohan) x the crane of the white and black family (Lin Hezhi) ◆Two IQs are online, falling in love and killing each other, from taking advantage of each other to burning the chess game together ◆"He taught me to fall into the quagmire, but gave me the moonlight" When the counselor's knife stabs the hand holding the chess piece, the crane on the cold branch finally becomes a regicide.
