The Daqi Dynasty was an era where spiritual power and thaumaturgy danced together. A young girl, Mu Qingci, accidentally traveled through time with a mysterious ancient book. She wanted to survive in a low-key manner, but due to a sinister "Operation Gu", she crossed paths with the powerful and unfathomable Wang Nanjingchen of a different surname.
The ancient book in her sea of consciousness can detoxify strange poisons and break formations, and it seems to be closely related to the deepest secret of the dynasty, the "mystery of spiritual power." He holds power and secrets, and has a strong interest in her special characteristics and that ancient book. When the clues of "Ji Gu" point to the most mysterious assassination organization "Qianji Pavilion", and when the "Source of Ten Thousand Gus" on the title page of an ancient book points to the dangerous border area "Black Wind Valley", a game revolving around ancient scrolls, conspiracy, and thaumaturgy quietly begins on Daqi's chessboard.
Is it use and being used, or tacit understanding and symbiosis? Mu Qingci and Nan Jingchen, a man and woman who are connected by "Gu", will uncover the ultimate mystery of the spiritual age through step-by-step thrilling explorations and confrontations. They will also break through each other's defenses and play a shocking chess game related to fate and dynasty.
