Shen Qingshu, the leader of the Yangzhou Wanfeng Pavilion, is famous for his music in Jianghuai, but he hides his identity as an orphan from the previous dynasty. He uses string songs as a blade to deliver secret messages from rebels, hoping that one day he can wash away his old grudges with blood.
Xie Heng, a concubine of the noble Xie family in the capital, used the reputation of a dandy to hang out in the south of the Yangtze River, wandering around in the romantic world, but secretly gathered a lot of influence and planned a chess game that no one knew about.
When her piano music met his ambition, and the resentment of the current dynasty was wrapped up in the bitterness of the royal family, Shen Qingshu discovered that this seemingly unruly man was actually the chess player on the same journey as her.
He formed a party and sought a position in the name of romance, and she used piano music as a medium to convey secret messages. The music became each other's password, but love became more and more entangled in the whirlpool of the plan to restore the country.
Is it use, temptation, or the only salvation in troubled times?
The intrigues inside and outside the Zhuqiang, and the fall of the Fengyue Field will eventually be revealed when the sound of strings is extinguished.
