Frost and cold in the north made loyal souls cry blood. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion collapsed overnight, and all the loyal family members died with hatred. Only the weak young master Shen Yan was left, carrying half of an ancestral jade pendant, and embarked on a narrow escape path.
He was born weak, had no knowledge of martial arts, and had difficulty even protecting himself, but he had a penetrating mind, meticulous thinking, and long-term vision that were difficult for others to match. I wish I could kill the enemy with a sword, so I use strategy as a sword and people's hearts as chess, hiding in the cracks of troubled times to survive.
When he met his mentor, he passed on his power and sought medical skills, gathered loyal soldiers with his wisdom, relied on advance planning to avoid murderous intentions, and used planning methods to leverage his strength. Faced with the powerful prince and the ruthless and cunning rebel general, he did not confront or get impatient. He worked step by step and set up situations everywhere. He opened loopholes in the undercurrent and moved among the forces of all parties to make a comeback.
There is no use of force, no chance from heaven, only step by step calculation and everything planned. What he wants is not only a blood feud, but also redress of injustice, to maintain the character of loyalty, to use his own intelligence to change the fate of the whole family who died tragically, and to hold up a blue sky for loyalty.
