Blood feud and childhood sweethearts, in troubled times, who is the chess piece and who is the chess player?
Seven years ago, he was Xiao Che, the taciturn adopted son of the General's Mansion, and she was Xiao Yue, the arrogant and dazzling princess. The blood-based marriage contract between their parents became a joke during the confrontation between the two. Until he learned the truth about his biological father's tragic death, he left without saying goodbye and was never heard from again.
Seven years later, he is Shen Che, the mysterious young master of Tianji Pavilion, and she is Princess Yunxi who is deeply involved in the whirlpool of the court. They reunited at a palace banquet. He was a guest of the emperor, she was about to be married, and an imperial edict pushed the family into despair.
He returned with hatred, laid out the world, and vowed to overturn this dirty chess game. In order to protect her loved ones, she mediates political intrigues and maintains the family's honor in desperate situations. When the dusty conspiracy was uncovered layer by layer, and when blood and fire stained the palace walls red, they discovered——

"Shen Che, if the world can't tolerate us, then the world will be turned upside down!"
"Xiao Yue, I have been decisive in killing in this life, and the only indecision I have left is all to you."
——The beacon fire is the matchmaker, the heaven and the earth are the witnesses, this heart is unswerving, and this love is reflected.
