Thousands of miles of chaos, who is trapped?
He glanced at Taolin, and she wandered for half her life;
He depends on each other for life and death, and her bones hold the mountains and rivers together.
——
Shen Zhiyi once thought that his life would be forever locked in the cage carefully woven by Jing Huan. Until that day, the truth was revealed in the military letters - it turned out that everything started from that one bone-deep obsession in the peach blossom forest.
She faked her death to break free from the shackles, but she didn't know that she was already the most critical piece in this chess game.
It wasn't until she met Gu Yan and stayed with each other in the war of troubled times that she understood the meaning of a deep love that would last for life or death.
A "Qiu Shan Asking Picture" leads to the late emperor's edict; a bronze tiger charm opens the prelude to troubled times. Beidi's iron hoof trampled through the border, the King of Qi led the wolf into the house, the young emperor indulged in suspicion, and the vassal kings from all directions watched with eager eyes.
The northern overlord Jing Huan is iron-blooded and domineering, vowing to imprison her in his hands again; Gu Yan, the descendant of Qing Nang, is in charge of the Shen family army and always stands side by side with her. When the Xirong troops from Beidi invaded and the country was in danger, she resolutely sacrificed herself to trigger the great formation of mountains and rivers...
This game with the world at its core witnessed a woman's journey from a chess piece at the mercy of others to a player in charge of the universe. And all she wants is to protect one river, Qinghaiyan, among the broken mountains and rivers.
