Yun Xi, the war-god princess of the Great Yong Dynasty, had great achievements and shocked the emperor, but she fell into a political whirlpool because of a personal edict. In order to refuse the marriage, she swore at court: "My husband should be better than me!" From then on, a son-in-law selection game that shocked the world began.
She chose the most unlikely chess piece - Xie Zhixuan, a strategist from a poor family who was ill and torn apart and whose identity was a mystery. He approached her as a guest of the Third Prince's Mansion and handed her a green jade cicada: "I am willing to be His Highness's variable."
He offered her a "contractual marriage" and allowed her independence; she allowed him protection and gave him a stage. She thought it was a deal where everyone gets what he needs, but she didn't know that he had already calculated every step.
Above the court, he makes clever plans to calm the world; far away in the rivers and lakes, he secretly determines the world. He helped her break the conspiracy, put down the rebellion, and gain the morale of the army, allowing her to grow from a sword bound by the royal family to a real chess king.
However, when his identity as an orphan from the previous dynasty was exposed, and when the secret of the "Mountains and Rivers Map" treasure was revealed, she discovered that his illness was a disguise, his affection was a mask, and even this encounter was a chess game he had carefully laid out for more than ten years.
"Xie Zhixuan," she pointed her sword directly at his heart, "what do you want?"
He held the sword blade with a smile and let the blood drip down: "I want these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers to be medicine to heal your heart."

The early stage seems to be okay. It is a brainless and refreshing article with a twist. I look forward to the follow-up and keep updating.
