During the Jiajing period, war broke out in northern Xinjiang and Japanese invasion occurred in the southeast. Both the government and the public said that the situation was unfavorable.
Before Jin Yiwei died in the execution ground, he entrusted his adopted son Ye Guchen with a bloody mystery related to the country. A knife coming from the north cut into the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but encountered the mysterious woman Su Wanqing who had no plans, and even triggered a fatal pursuit by the Xingxiu killer, the "Xingjian" in the court.
Seven days after the fort was abandoned, the sea first came to light; before the war in Taizhou, a beacon-fire wedding took place. From being vengeful swordsmen, they are gradually trapped in a chess game of "raising bandits" set by the most powerful people. When the pirate king's widow appears with the secret in hand, and when their best friend and mentor pave the way forward with their lives, Ye Guchen and Su Wanqing finally see clearly: above personal grudges, there is systemic corruption.
Chivalry in the world, overwhelming wealth, ironclad evidence at the border, secret agreements at court... All the fragments point to the same shocking truth. This is a huge gamble with the world at stake, and the opponent is the supreme power in the shadows. When the final chess piece is settled, will it become a prairie fire that subverts the darkness, or will it become a lamp-holder who protects the spark?
The journey of the chivalrous man has only seen the vast seas at this point.
Really pretty
