The Great Yin Dynasty has enjoyed a century of peace. The young emperor, Yu Heng, ascends the throne, while his uncle, Yu Lan, serves as regent. Beneath the calm surface of the court, undercurrents begin to stir.
As Yu Heng gradually secures his rule, he discovers that Yu Lan’s influence has grown beyond its proper bounds. His gaze is deep as an abyss, as if concealing a heart disloyal to the throne.
By chance, Yu Heng obtains a fragment of an ancient book of destinies from the previous dynasty and glimpses a cycle of fate in which two dragons share the same origin, and the ruin of one means the ruin of both.
The fragment can reveal memories of past lives, exposing a curse upon the nation: whenever the Emperor Star appears, someone must die.
From then on, he can see through schemes, anticipate deadly traps, and discern the truth behind every struggle for power.
While others are still caught in political machinations, he has already seen through the causes and consequences of three lifetimes and seized the initiative at every turn.
In this life, he will break the cycle of fate and stand beside the player behind the pieces at the summit of the realm, sharing dominion over life, death, and reincarnation.
