[Two male protagonists + rebirth + revenge + intrigue + cool writing + double cleanliness (past and present life)]
(In the early stage, he was upright and in the later stage, he criticized the general attack × and he was reborn as the "cute and kind" champion)
In his previous life, Ye Zhiyuan was the most tragic abandonment on the chessboard of the powerful.
Betrayed by his true love, framed by his confidant, and ultimately burdened with infamy, he was poisoned and killed in a prison, and his body was thrown into the wilderness with no one to care about him.
Only he, that indifferent person whom he had only met a few times, secretly collected his body despite the pressure and gave him the last bit of dignity.
In his new life, Ye Zhiyuan tore his weak self into pieces.
This time, he wants to be the one playing chess.
In the examination room, he was an instant success and used his talent to learn how to make a sword;
In the court, he was careful every step of the way, using people's hearts as his blade.
He would trample those who betrayed him one by one and let them taste the feeling of being crushed.
Until the general he didn't dare approach in his previous life blocked him in a corner and asked in a low voice:
"Why don't you dare to look at me? Why don't you open your eyes and look at me?"
Only then did Ye Zhiyuan realize that some people's deep feelings have transcended life and death.
