In the thirteenth year of Yongye, Lu Li was demoted to a government office that specialized in dealing with "unexplainable matters": Guiyi Division.
His first assignment was to investigate a mansion where all members of the family had disappeared. The banquet was still warm and full of guests, but everyone was ashamed.
In a desperate situation, strange words appeared in his eyes, and he saw a loophole in a certain death rule.
He thought this was a talent for surviving desperate situations, but he didn't know that these "eyes" came from deep within the palace.
When the strange "dreams" became entangled with the "laws" of the dynasty, Lu Li realized that what he had to fight was not only the rules of the human world, but also the chess player who sat on the dragon's throne and regarded all living beings as chess pieces.
