Qi Tongwei is shot and killed during an anti-drug operation, only to open his eyes and find himself back twenty years in the past.
Looking at the young Gao Yuliang beside his hospital bed, he remembers his past life's boast about “winning half a move against heaven.”
This time, he decides to reject the family deal with Liang Lu.
Starting over as a grassroots police officer, he carefully avoids the pitfalls of his previous life.
Just as he thinks he has finally rewritten his fate, a shell casing from the gun he carried in his previous life turns up at Chen Hai's car-crash scene.
A freshly written calligraphy piece hangs in Gao Yuliang's office: “The game has only just begun.”
