From being enslaved in stables to being a pawn in the border army, from using secrets to sway within the palace, to accumulating military exploits in the border wars; from being forced to be involved in the game between the rich and the poor in the court, to taking charge of the crisis of the northern cavalry... In this crisis-ridden world, Liu Zhi will break free step by step from the shackles of his origins and leverage the chessboard of power with his forbearance beyond his years, his increasingly mature resourcefulness, and his blood-stained hands.
This is not only the history of one person's struggle, but also a dark picture of clan politics, the cruel reality of border wars, and the tempering and alienation of human nature in desperate situations. When the wind and snow in Shuofang remain the same year after year, the young man who once huddled in the haystack of the stable will eventually let the whole world hear his name.
