(Main story complete) [Gentle romance vs. bold ambition + no misunderstandings + sweet devotion + power struggle + equally strong leads]
In Yun Che’s dreams, he was dead.
Who was he? Why can’t I remember his face?, Yun Che
Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on Yun Che: his close friend died, his father was murdered, and his enemy ascended the throne.
Once the radiant Crown Prince, he was betrayed by the younger brother who had looked up to him since childhood and driven off a cliff.
After regaining his memories, Yun Che begins his campaign to seize power. By chance, he encounters a game of chess, with the board imprinted on his and his lover’s palms. As they press onward, he discovers that the board represents an entire race.
Only when he finally ascends the throne does he realize that everything was caused by a twisted love.
A scene from the story:
Faced with his lover’s accusations in an illusion, Yun Che merely sneers. “You can copy his appearance, but not his soul.”
When the lover in the illusion begs him to stay, Shen Qing immediately sees through it. “A-Che has ambitions of his own. He would never settle for a quiet life in one corner of the world. You’re not him.”
They are devoted to each other and believe in each other unconditionally. You rush ahead, and when you look back, he is right behind you, protecting you.
