If God gives you a second life, but throws you into a world that seems to be full of flowers but is actually full of undercurrents, how would you choose?
Lin Mu, a genius physicist who died in a laboratory explosion in his previous life, found himself as a sick young master of a declining house in the Liang Dynasty. I thought I could enjoy a wealthy and idle life, but I unexpectedly discovered that the world I traveled through had hidden mysteries - the ancient mechanism skills are surprisingly consistent with the principles of physics in previous lives, everyone in the court wore masks of hypocrisy, and murderous intentions and friendship coexisted in the world.
An anonymous letter reveals the truth behind his mother's mysterious death, and a deliberate assassination draws him into a fight for his throne. Above the court, the prince and the king of Jin are fighting openly and secretly; outside the court, the mysterious "Tiandao Pavilion" secretly controls the world's chess game. Lin Mu relied on his past life knowledge to decipher the secrets of the agency, used modern thinking to dismantle the machinations, and survived among various forces.
However, the closer he gets to the truth, the more he discovers a shocking secret - the secret of this world may have been related to him from the beginning. And his biggest enemy is not a powerful minister or prince, but a person who has been dead for ten years...
