Lead the King to Bend His Waist

Wei Shao, the overlord of the north, had a cold temperament and commanded 300,000 cavalry. He was a frontier commander whom the imperial court relied on. He strategized and was invincible, but he scorned the family marriage arranged by his grandmother. It wasn't until the spring banquet that he met the girl who was deducing the battle situation on the chessboard - the second daughter of the Qiao family, Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao is extremely intelligent and proficient in military strategy. Although he comes from a merchant family, he has the courage to be as courageous as any other man. Using the chess game as a battlefield, she saw through the barbarians' southward conspiracy at a glance, and even discerned the clues of Gongsun's collusion with the enemy. When she handed over the information to Wei Shao, a game concerning the life and death of the Northern Territory began... He holds the sword and she plays the chess piece. He conquered the world with iron and blood, and she strategized with wisdom. When a cold and fierce overlord meets a smart military advisor, will they fight side by side, or will they each have their own agendas? In troubled times, a game of chess can determine life and death, as well as marriage.
