Synopsis

[No golden finger, no System, true to the course of history. A strong male lead, no contrived drama. Schemes and strategic battles from start to finish: against fate, against others, and against himself.]

Fourth century, Eastern Jin.

The emperor has no real power, the great clans have no limits, the north has no good men, and the south has no good fortune.

Lin Yan, a transmigrator, only wants to stay alive, save money, and buy a plot of land.

The result: hunted down, besieged, and forced to carry the banner.

Huan Wen: “Work with me.”

Lin Yan: “Work with you?”

Eventually, he understands. In this mad age, you either move the pieces or become one.

He chooses a third path: flip the board.
