When troubled times come, heroes rise together. On a continent full of jokes, traps and opportunities, grassroots military strategist Zhong Li'an led a group of strange partners to form an alliance to compete with various princes and emerging forces. They both cheated and helped each other, working step by step, trying to take advantage of the magnificent power chess game. As their power grows, they have to face internal and external undercurrents, old and new grudges, emotional choices and life and death crises. The four volumes show the rise from the grassroots, to the struggle for power, to the decisive battle, and finally in a humorous way to end the troubled times and reunite the world.
