In her previous life, she watched helplessly as her family was destroyed, her father and brother died tragically, and she was exiled with hatred!
When he opened his eyes again, Xie Mingwei returned to before the tragedy happened. In this life, she is no longer the gentle and weak daughter of the Hou family, but a chess player with an advantage!
On the surface, she is the jewel of the Wuning Hou family who is well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Secretly, she used her rebirth memory to quietly lay out a chess game: detect anomalies, plug loopholes, make allies... Just to protect her loved ones and reverse the bloody future!
Pei Yan, a young general, the son of the prime minister, and the emperor's confidant. Beneath the sunny and sincere appearance, there is keen insight and thunderous means.
He was ordered to track down the undercurrents in the court, but he always ran into the talented and beautiful Miss Xie at the clues. Her knowledge is far beyond that of a boudoir, and her calmness is frightening. An investigation in Jiangnan and a life-and-death disaster made him see clearly her tenacity and wisdom beneath her gentleness.
Peaceful home? Conspiracy in court? Jianghu murderous intention? The emperor was poisoned? Mutiny in the capital?
Shocking every step of the way! Layers of fog! The "Hidden Dragon" black hand behind the scenes that controls everything is actually the person they least dare to imagine!
Xie Mingwei: "In this life, I will save my life and my home by myself! General, are you willing to stand by my side?"
Pei Yan: "I will break your game! I will protect your road! Jinghong Zhaoying, you are the only one in this life!"
