In Troubled Times, Young People Seek to Bring Peace to the World

In the troubled times when mountains and rivers are broken and wars rage, Huangfu Jingcheng, a young man from a poor family, comes from a humble background but has great ambitions. He accidentally discovered the lost art of vertical and horizontal in an abandoned ancient house, and after studying it day and night, he mastered it. At the Capital Poetry Festival, he relied on this technique to break three games in a row and won the favor of the Taifu. At the same time, the mysterious woman Murong Jingxuan, who always hides her face with gauze curtains, casts her eye on Huangfu Jingcheng with a secret message that can subvert the dynasty. The two played chess under the moonlight, hiding their cleverness. However, in order to safeguard their own interests, various forces obstruct the protagonist in every possible way, trying to seize resources and voice. Huangfu Jingcheng was born into a poor family, and faced with the increasingly tense situation in the seven countries and the time pressure of an imminent war, he needed to consolidate his forces in a short time to prevent the war. Once the key information of Murong Jingxuan's hidden secret is exposed, it will trigger a pursuit by all parties and endanger the world situation. In this process, the protagonist is weak in the early stage, and his actions and decisions are often limited in troubled times. Moreover, because he is in a war-torn and resource-scarce environment, it is difficult to develop and grow. At the same time, Huangfu Jingcheng and Murong Jingxuan are attracted to each other, but they are also involved in an emotional triangle with another mysterious male character. In the end, although the protagonist succeeded in changing the chaotic situation, he also paid a heavy price in losing many relatives and friends.
