A truth buried in blood, a revenge that uses the world as a chess game.
Seven years ago, in the majestic Meiling in the north, Chiyan Marshal Jiang Han and 30,000 soldiers were stigmatized as "treason" and perished in a sea of fire. Seven years later, a new name was engraved on the top of Langya - "Qilin Talented Scholar, Su Zhe".
He took a small boat and returned to Jinling with his sick and broken body and his ingenuity. The former young marshal has become a political strategist who stirs up troubles in the capital. He wanders in the dispute between the crown prince and Prince Yu for the throne, and overturns the court situation while talking and laughing. The old bones under the dry well in Lanyuan and the innocent souls weeping blood on the fertile soil of Binzhou all became the blades in his hands, chipping off the enemy's wings step by step.
However, the road to revenge is full of mystery. Prince Jing Xiao Jingyan, who used to be his best friend, has now become the most distant prince; Princess Nihuang, whom he was once engaged to, is so close but dare not recognize her. When the shadow of Xuan Jingsi, Xie Yu's suspicion, and Xia Jiang's poisonous schemes came like a tide, Jiang Han could only use his body as bait to dance out a glimmer of hope on the tip of the knife.
From the flash of swords and shadows at the night banquet at the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, to the desperate beacon smoke at the hunting palace in Jiu'an Mountain; from the impassioned speech of injustice in the Golden Palace, to the final resolute turn around in the wind and snow in the north. Not only does he want to clear up the injustice, but he also wants to find a clear path forward for this country among imperial power, conspiracy and national calamity.
"I come back, not to destroy, but to rebuild."
This is the ultimate game of resourcefulness and faith. When the bloody truth that has been sealed for seven years finally comes to light, will the result be delayed justice or another farewell at the expense of life?
See how a lonely soul in the cold river melts away the wind and snow with its heart-burning wisdom and rekindles the righteousness of the world.
