At the end of the dynasty, the imperial power fell and there were many powerful families.
Shen Mo, a criminal who was exiled thousands of miles after his family was involved in a rebellion, struggled to survive in the mud. He was burdened with a blood feud, but he had no weapons to rely on; he had great talent, but he had no qualifications to rise to the top.
The only way out was the Shura road paved for poor families in the world and for himself - the imperial examination.
This is a game of life and death with the world as the chessboard. With his unparalleled resourcefulness, he solved strange cases in the imperial examination hall, fought with scholars in the court, and strategized at the border. From a prisoner in the lower ranks to a purple-robed prime minister, he was shocked every step of the way.
However, when his former enemies were laid to rest and his former ideals were within reach, he found himself involved in a deeper whirlpool. To become a chess player and stir up the world? Or find your true heart and complete the ultimate self-salvation?
This Qingyun Road, every step is filled with bones and glory.
