"When Qin lost the deer, all under heaven gave chase. But the first to spot the cracks had already begun moving his pieces, ten years before the Overlord rose."
One night, Xiang Huan, an archaeology student, transmigrates and becomes Xiang Yan's eldest grandson in the state of Chu: the "Xiang Huan" buried beneath the dust of history. He opens his eyes to witness the celestial omens surrounding Xiang Yu's birth. Thirteen years later, he watches Qin's iron hooves trample Ying, Xiang Yan die in battle, and the glory of the Xiang clan vanish in ashes.
From fleeing into exile in Xiaxiang to lying low in Wu, from traveling the land and learning the people's suffering to melting armor, hiding his edge, and gathering the scattered sparks of the Six Kingdoms... Xiang Huan uses his mortal body as a chess piece, quietly setting his plans in motion beneath the shadow of the First Emperor's empire.
