In the Dajing Dynasty, the East Palace hung empty, the Nine Dragons seized the legitimate sons, and the bones paved the way.
Princes fight, aristocratic families wield power, eunuchs hide their edge, everyone is a chess player, and everyone is a chess piece.
He is Xiao Jingyuan, the most despicable seventh prince. His mother and concubine were wronged and he was of low birth. The world regarded him as a sick and weak waste and discarded him like dust.
No one knew that he had endured the humiliation for ten years, hiding his edge, making secret moves, weaving a dense web, and waiting for the opportunity to slay the dragon in a desperate situation.
The court hall is turbulent, and murders are hidden in every case; the palace is dark, and every step is frightening.
The grain deprivation case, examination fraud, serial poisoning, old palace secrets... Each case involves the shocking truth of the sudden death of the former prince and the unjust death of his mother and concubine.
He uses arithmetic to break puzzles, uses intelligence to determine life and death, uses power to conquer the world, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, uses a knife to kill the heart, and overturns the government in a silent place.
The three powers stand side by side, the two dragons face off, and the chess players behind the scenes emerge layer by layer.
In the past, Prince Chen Mo, once the dragon shadow appeared in the world, he turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain.
The imperial power has no relatives, and the law of heaven has no impartiality.
Since destiny is unfair, then—take it with your own hands!
These thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, this supreme dragon chair, I am destiny!
