During the Yongchang period, the two months returned to their positions and fate restarted. Hidden Prime Minister Xie Lin was wronged and drank poison, and was reborn as the idle Prince Ning. With the memories of his previous life and his lifelong cultivation, he secretly laid out a chess game for five years, waiting for his old friend to return. Shen Weixi, a businesswoman from the south of the Yangtze River, died crying in the cold palace. She returned to her teenage years, and her memory fragments gradually awakened as the scene triggered her, and she vowed to escape the fate of being a chess piece.
The undercurrents in the court are turbulent, and the forces of the rivers and lakes are reshuffled. The two met for the first time because of a deliberate water transport collision. Their fingertips touched and their memories resonated. From then on, they tested each other and worked together to break the situation. He protected her from the quagmire of the deep palace, and she helped him reverse the war in the north, from the game in the East Palace to the palace rebellion, from chasing the murderer in the rivers and lakes to co-ruling between the emperor and the empress. Machiavellianism and martial arts were intertwined, and wisdom and affection were blended.
