Chen Yi, a scholar of game theory, transmigrates one day and finds himself a fake eunuch in the harem of another world. From the start, he's trapped in a deadly situation, with the mastermind plotting to silence him.
The court is a chessboard, and the harem is a game. Everyone wants to use him as a pawn, then discard him when he's served his purpose.
The cold and beautiful Noble Consort sees him as a blade to seize power. An innocent young lady draws him in as a kindred spirit who brings her warmth. The valiant Eldest Princess forms a political alliance with him, while a talented merchant's daughter regards him as a beacon to riches.
He only wanted to keep his head down and survive, but the world keeps forcing his hand.
So be it. He'll teach this realm what true strategy means!
From pawn to player, from moving the pieces to flipping the board!
When the palace falls and the throne changes hands, he wears the imperial robes and gazes down upon the realm:
"From now on, I make the rules of this game."
