Nancheng is a border city where desire and opportunity intertwine. Young Li Zhan was robbed when he first arrived in Nancheng. When he was living on the street, he rented a house with A Zhen, a nightclub. In order to make a living, he became Azhen's bodyguard, but because of his extraordinary skills, he was targeted by a force and was forced to get involved in the game between the giants in the south city, "Nine Masters" and "Seventh Uncle". From the bloody battle at the dock to outsmarting the traitors, Li Zhan grew up rapidly in the light of swords and shadows. The seemingly obedient chess pieces actually hide their ambitions. When everyone thought he was just a pawn crossing the river, Li Zhan had quietly laid out his plan, and his sword reached the top of the southern city - a passionate era belonging to him was coming!
