The Emperor of Liang is critically ill, and there is an undercurrent in the court. As an uncle of the emperor, Prince Chen Zhou Zhiyue, despite his great military exploits, was under suspicion for marrying Princess Tuoba Baoyin of Beidi.
He helped her stabilize her motherland, and she helped him control the seven cities on the border. It was a marriage that began with interests, and gradually grew in love through life and death.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. The overt and covert attacks of political opponents in the DPRK and China, the eagerness of border neighbors, and the unwilling gaze of the young emperor on the throne all pushed them into the eye of the storm of power.
From the bloodshed in the Golden Palace to the beacon smoke at the border, from the game in the court to the chess game in the world. Zhou Zhiyue holds black, and Tuoba Baoyin holds white. They join hands to fight their way to the top in this chess game called "Jiangshan"!
This is a more dangerous road than the battlefield, but this time, he is no longer alone.
