In the troubled times of the Republic of China, there were many warlords and the waves were turbulent.
Shen Yan, who came from a poor family, originally only wanted a corner of stability, but his family was ruined overnight and he was forced to embark on a bloody road to power. He worked step by step, rose to power ruthlessly, killed his enemies with his own hands, and eventually became a hero.
But on the day when the great revenge was avenged, Su Wan, the woman who tried to take his life several times and protected him secretly several times, gave him a heraldic jade pendant.
Until he put the broken piece of jade together with the whole jade, all the "coincidences" and "luck" in the past suddenly collapsed——
Hidden patterns in military school lesson plans, bizarre assignments, uncovered secrets, vitality in desperate situations, dead soldiers on snowy nights, poisonous needles on rainy nights...
Everything is a layout, everything has been foreshadowed.
He thought he was the chess player, but from beginning to end, he was the sharpest knife in other people's hands.
The revenge is over, and the chess game has just begun.
In this chaotic world, the real enemy has never shown up.
