It tells the story of Shen Yan, the Minister of Punishment, and Xiao Lin, the prince of Zhenbei Hou, who met because of a series of black jade chess pieces. From the sharp confrontation when they first met in the morgue to the mutual understanding during the game of chess under the moonlight, the two highly intelligent young men worked step by step on the chessboard of the court and the arena. However, when position and truth split trust like sharp swords, they had to confront each other at both ends of the cliff.

Only the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River and the wind and snow in the north remained, and the game of chess was never finished.
