She is a surgical prodigy from the 21st century. In a single moment, she transmigrates into the body of an orphan girl, dying on the snowy plains of the Warring States. When her instinct to save lives meets a battlefield strewn with a million corpses, her astonishing medical skills and a scalpel far ahead of its time shine through the blizzards at Yanmen Pass, bringing light to Li Mu, Zhao’s last Great Wall.
He is the peerless Lord of Wu'an, gentle as jade and devoted to the world. He sees that her soul does not belong to this age, yet gives her his steadfast protection. The snow at Yanmen is their unspoken promise, her only warmth in these chaotic times.
He is the Qin king Ying Zheng, who looks down on the world: ruthless, domineering, calculating, and aloof. At first glance, he sees not a woman, but a peerless weapon capable of overturning the Seven Kingdoms and helping him unite all under heaven. He lures her into Xianyang, a golden cage, binding her with absolute power and turning the world into a chessboard as he closes in, determined to possess this sharpest “blade of the empire.”
When suspicion at court and a ruler’s fear push the white-clad god of war toward an abyss of no return, and the snows of Yanmen can no longer await the one who never comes home, she is reborn in blood, stripped of all innocence. The scalpel that once saved lives becomes a blade of vengeance.
She makes the most reckless wager with the emperor high above the nine heavens, staking her peerless wit and using herself as bait to set the world in turmoil. She destroys the Six Kingdoms and slays her enemies. She becomes his sharpest blade, and the deepest thorn in his heart.
He rules the world, only to discover that the empire he built with blood and schemes cannot imprison a heart already frozen over.
When the flames of revenge have burned everything away, at the end of love and hate, what awaits: a bottomless cliff or eternal silence?
In this game spanning a thousand years, who is the pawn, and who is the player?
It tied the story in one breath, with delicate emotions, and it was very emotional to read, especially when the protagonist took the initiative to adapt to history and conquer the Chu Kingdom. On the road to revenge, Li Mu chose the method of alienation that led to his death. He gradually turned from a doctor into a blood-stained machine, which is sad. The author will update soon, and I'm looking forward to the next development.
