Xiao Jingheng, heir to the Nanjing principality, appears to be a spoiled playboy who spends his days cockfighting and racing horses. In truth, he is a modern soul who has transmigrated into another world.
Beneath the Great Yin Dynasty’s prosperity, turmoil is brewing. Princes carve up the realm, the borders are unstable, and the people are displaced.
New to this world and caught in a maelstrom of political intrigue, he is dismissed as a useless fool and struggles to take a single step.
Then he unexpectedly gains a golden finger: the ability to read people’s hearts, predict how events will unfold, and lay out plans for the realm like a game of chess.
He can discern loyalty from treachery, anticipate his rivals, and turn desperate situations around. No one can play the pig to eat the tiger better than he can.
While others rack their brains for a way out, he calmly watches the tides of change. While everyone else fights for power, he quietly takes control of the court.
From the capital’s number-one playboy to the ruler of the realm, he stands alone at the pinnacle of political intrigue.
Together with A Ruo, a vivacious young woman who loves to put on an act, he will weather the chaos, turn the clouds with a wave of his hand, and build an imperial legacy for the ages.
