(Long) princess × female general
Undercurrents are surging in the Dasheng Dynasty. Princess Xiao Li, the prisoner of the country, is burdened with the mystery of the murder of her biological mother, Concubine Hui, and plays chess in the deep palace. General Lu Zhao of Zhenbei fought bloody battles on the battlefield, bearing in mind the truth behind his father and brother's death in battle.
At a palace banquet, they, who were originally chess pieces, met their eyes. From alliances that exploit each other to confidants who depend on each other for life and death, they work together to solve unsolved cases, defend against foreign enemies, and dance together on the edge of power.
However, when the root of the dynasty's decadence emerges, a choice lies before us: is it to be completely subverted and become the "female chicken Si Chen" that is tabooed in history books? Or is he slowly trying to create the old order?
