My name is Chen Yan. In my previous life, I was the commander of the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty. However, I was framed for my loyalty and my entire family was beheaded. Only when I was about to die did I realize that the person behind the scenes was actually my most trusted brother. When I opened my eyes, I went back twenty years ago. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, I was just an unknown little flag in Yingtian Mansion. In this life, I vow to work step by step, overthrow the powerful officials, purge the court, and make those powerful people who climbed up on the bones of the common people kneel down and confess their sins one by one. In the Ming dynasty's chess game, the emperor is the player, the civil servants are the pawns, and I want to be the hidden peg that moves the chess game. When I come back from rebirth, I don't strive for a false reputation, I just want to kill my enemies with my own hands and wash away the grievances of my previous life. The water in this court is deep, and I insist on climbing up on the corpses. I will pretend to be cowardly first, and then use my sword. Anyone who blocks me will be killed. At the feet of the Emperor, I, Chen Yan, can play big if I want to, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, come back against the wind, and kill with one blow.
