He is the sharpest blade of "Bu Wen Lou", codenamed "Shadow". He walks in the darkness and makes a living by killing. Shen Jinghong never asked why, he only wanted to hit the target with one hit. His world is an icy chess game of blood and night, and he is the most proud chess piece of the poster.
He is the youngest commander of the Tianxing Division and a rising star in the court. Gu Yebai was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Jianghu secret society, vowing to uproot the cancer hidden in the shadow of the empire. His world is a clear heaven and earth built by law and order, and he is the most persistent guardian of justice.
An assassination order caused two parallel lines that never intersected to collide.
When the sword tip of "Shadow" pointed at Gu Yebai's eyebrows, what he saw was not fear, but a pair of clear eyes that understood everything. A well-planned assassination evolved into an ultimate tug of wisdom and strength, light and darkness. The identities of hunter and prey, assassin and target, become blurred in each confrontation.
Trust and betrayal, love and murderous intent grew crazily between them. When Buwenlou's ultimate conspiracy comes to light, and when the chess game between the court and Jianghu is completely overturned, Shen Jinghong must make a choice: Should he continue to be an involuntary chess piece, or should he pick up the sword in his hand and open up a path for himself that he has never imagined?
What he thought was hate might be love. The truth he believed in might be a lie.
When the outcome is reversed, who is the chess player, and who is the chess piece that has already been destined to fate?
