The Dajing Dynasty was in turmoil, the imperial power was falling apart, and the aristocratic families and vassal kings had different intentions. Shen Qingci, the orphan of a former general, was hiding in the dust with his magical skills and superb medical skills. However, due to a collusion case between Jiangnan officials and businessmen, he accidentally broke into a corner of the chess game in troubled times.
Xie Hengzhi, a gentle man who investigates the case in secret, has a sharp eye and uses the Jianghu intelligence network to weave the chess game;
Xiao Jinghan, a border marshal who made great achievements in battle but suffered injustice, was unyielding and guarded the territory with an iron-blooded military spirit.
From the water town in the south of the Yangtze River to the undercurrent of the capital, from the disputes in the rivers and lakes to the border wars, Shen Qingci was forced to walk out of her seclusion, and on the road to find relatives and revenge, she became fettered with the two male protagonists one after another.
She solves puzzles with her wisdom, saves people with her medical skills, and determines the world with her mechanical skills. Xie Hengzhi's gentle protection and Xiao Jinghan's dependence on life and death also make her face difficult choices in the ups and downs of troubled times.
The three went from testing each other to breaking through the situation side by side, seeking a way out amidst the strife of imperial power, adhering to their original aspirations in the righteousness of their family and country, and finally, in the process of redemption and growth, they wrote a legend that took into account the love of their children and the peace of their family and country.
