He woke up from a coma, but there was a future "memory" in his mind that was not his own. It was the history of the rise and fall of a civilization called "Blue Star", a torrent of technology, ideas and wars that spanned thousands of years.
Gu Chen, a neglected concubine in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion of the Dayin Dynasty, was supposed to remain unknown amidst the neglect of his family and the ups and downs of world affairs. However, a high fever and an unexpected "information synchronization" made him the only "chess player" in this era.
When the dynasty's dusk bell is about to ring, when the iron hooves of the north are already looking south, when the court is decaying and people's livelihood is difficult... A soul that should have been buried in the dust of history quietly opens his eyes to see the future.
What he saw were the coming natural and man-made disasters, the crushing and massacre caused by technological differences, and the bloody and cruel dynasty changes.
What he possesses is knowledge that transcends the times, the crystallization of the wisdom of countless predecessors, and the power to subvert the world from iron smelting and textiles to gunpowder and the art of war.
This is a lonely game. On the chessboard is the fate of the entire world; outside the chessboard is his own crumbling humanity and reason.
He will use the future as his blade and knowledge as his armor, for himself, for his relatives and friends, and for the common people in the world, and he will have no regrets.
From an unnoticed concubine of the Hou family to a mastermind behind the scenes, Gu Chen's every step is on the edge of changing history.
The world is a chess game, all living beings are sons, and I am the chess player.
