In the first year of Zhonghe, Huang Chao captured Chang'an, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan, fled into Shu in panic and became an exiled emperor. The government was controlled by the eunuch Tian Lingzi, and there were many feudal vassals and towns. The glory of the "Khan of Heaven" who once shocked the barbarians has long since fallen into dust.
However, no one knew that inside this seventeen-year-old body was a soul from a thousand years later. The new emperor, who knows the direction of history, knows that to turn the tide, he must make good use of the sharp blade that can both kill the enemy and injure himself - Shatuo Tiger Li Keyong. But he also knew that the real key to breaking the situation lay in the young stable boy who was still called "An Jingsi" and was a slave under Li Keyong's tent.
So, an edict to pardon King Qin went north to the grassland, and another top-secret oral edict followed: "Find An Jingsi and bring him to see me."
From exile in the capital of Shu to returning to Chang'an, from subduing flying tigers to checking and balancing the heroes, from secretly fighting for power to circling vassal towns, the young emperor played chess and made moves, setting up a chess game with the world at stake in a desperate situation. He wanted to pick up the broken mountains and rivers with his own hands in the last days when the Tang Dynasty was about to collapse, and he wanted to let the flag of "Khan of Heaven" fly on the top of the world again.
