At the end of the dynasty, the world was boiling. A well-planned refugee riot, like a pair of invisible hands, tore into pieces the warmth of the beggar twins Chen Jinglan and Chen Jingtao who finally depended on each other.
They were forced to separate, and each was adopted by the two largest forces in this apocalyptic world - Prime Minister Gu Shouzhuo and General Lu Shuo. From then on, they embarked on completely opposite paths.
My elder brother is Jinglan, who is sick and torn apart, but his intelligence is close to that of a demon. He learned a lot of scheming under the Prime Minister, and he was good at shaping the general trend. He used the people's hearts as a chess piece and the world as a game. He hid in the darkness of the court and waited for trouble to arise.
The younger brother Jingtao is extremely brave, but has a treacherous heart. He was sharpened into the sharpest sword in the army, and he was good at conspiracy and plotting. He followed one plan after another, like a raging wave, walking in the bright light of the battlefield, hiding deadly murderous intentions.
One of them wants to reshape order and save the world from falling; the other wants to stand up after being broken, reborn amidst destruction. As the gears of fate turn, behind the severe drought in Yunzhou, the shocking conspiracy of cults causing chaos, conflicts between rivers and lakes, and surrounding neighboring countries emerges...
When they meet again, are they brothers whose blood is thicker than water, or are they opponents who will never die in the chess game?
In this turbulent chess game where darkness and light intertwine, let's see how the twins hide their true feelings, stir up the waves, and play the game together!
