The once proud daughter of the hairpin family suddenly became the only "living chess piece" in the whirlpool of the frontier.
General Qin Xiao, the powerful iron-blooded overlord outside the Great Wall, imprisoned her in his mansion just for the "secret" of her bloodline. He sees her as a bird in his palm, and she sees him as a ladder to heaven...
Su Manqing knows very well that in this troubled world, beauty is the sharpest knife and the weakest target. Then follow the trend, take this knife, and turn the dignitaries of Yan City, the tycoons outside the Great Wall, the princes of the court... All those who covet her into pawns on the road to revenge.
The men thought she was prey waiting for a price, but little did they know that she was the most skilled chess player. Using their ambition and obsession, they weaved the Yan City where she was imprisoned into a dragnet.
In the dead of night, Qin Xiao touched the mole on the corner of her eye and made an oath to be hired by the country.
