Three years ago, he was the most dazzling hairpin man in the imperial capital, the most talented son of the Su family - Su Changye. After a catastrophic disaster, the family was overthrown, and he fell from the clouds to the dust, becoming the son of a criminal that everyone avoided.
Three years later, a marriage certificate fell from the sky, binding him to Qin Wanyan, the daughter of General Zhenbei, who held military power. Everyone said that this was a humiliation. A useless man was matched with a "yaksha girl" that no one dared to marry. It was a perfect match.
However, for Su Changye, this dead game regained life because of this unexpected chess piece.
He used marriage as a chessboard and human hearts as pawns to return to this treacherous imperial capital. Above the court, he is a cautious and unknown official, but secretly, he is stirring up a storm that can overturn the world.
Qin Wanyan, his wife, is the sharpest blade in his hand and the most unpredictable variable. They are allies and confidants, but in the cold exchange of interests, a warmth gradually develops that no one could have predicted.
When the fog cleared and the blood of the truth dyed the throne red, Su Changye looked back at where he came from, only to realize that he had planned the world, but he only missed his own heart.
"I have been in the dark for a long time, but when I see a glimmer of light, I will not give up even if I die."
