After traveling through time and becoming a scapegoat for fraud in the examination room, Lin An heard two voices on the hospital bed: the hypocritical comfort from the family doctor who told him to "rest and rest", and the cold voice in his heart thinking about how to make him "die naturally". On the verge of death, he awakened the ability to "listen" to people's hearts.
From then on, he gave up all the glory in front of the stage, faked his death and escaped into the shadows. Jin Yiwei is tracking down the "shadow of the imperial examination" in the open, Quan Eunuch is manipulating transactions in the dark, and the suspicious emperor is high in the sky. And he, in the cellar of the slums, wrote a chess game: guiding the good and poor scholars to win the gold medal, instructing the generals to find another way, and forming alliances with smart businessmen for mutual benefit.
He allowed his agents to walk openly and openly in the court, while he always hid behind all the memorials, chess games and games of people's hearts. When the enemies of the past fell one after another, and when a new order was reshaped in his hands, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had been tracking him finally pointed the blood-stained embroidered spring knife at the most unlikely person in the world——
"It turns out that you are the chess player."
This is a revenge that no one knows about, and it is also a chess game with the world as its chessboard. And I am the only "Human Emperor" behind the scenes.
