During the Jinglong period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a dangerous undercurrent under the splendor of the prosperous age.
The cowardly emperor sat back and watched the court become Empress Wei's chess game.
Shen Qian, a young man from a poor family who has experienced many setbacks, was used as a pawn by giants from all sides and was involved in the whirlpool before he understood the rules of Chang'an. Every time you cling to someone, it is a prelude to falling deeper into the abyss; every time you are used, you are stripped of your original intention. The true love in his wife's eyes gradually reflected the fact that he was mired in power and conspiracy.
When the shocking conspiracy that stirred up Chang'an finally surfaced, Shen Qian, who was once an abandoned son, had been tempered in the power struggle of blood and fire. He finally reached the coveted position, but the price was to bury the Jiangnan boy with his own hands, and the first glimmer of Shen Qian's in Pei Shunshun's eyes.
Chang'an's chess game has no regrets. No matter whether he won the world or not, he had already lost her.
