In the chess game of a chaotic age, all living beings are mere pieces.
From the day Shen Yan entered the game, she severed every emotional tie and abandoned romance.
She will neither fall in love nor play the delicate maiden. She takes up the pieces to break the game and wields a blade to slay evil.
At court, the hypocritical minister Su Mochen keeps the truth hidden and rules with impunity. In the martial world, Gu Yanzhi uses love as bait to wreak havoc on the government. At the border, the ruthless female general Ling Shuang presses in with her iron cavalry. The mysterious Mo Yuan lurks in the shadows, while the mastermind Ye Xuanchen turns the world into his hunting ground and regards the people as less than grass or dogs.
She stands shoulder to shoulder with Lu Chenyuan, not for romance, but to protect their homeland together.
She uses wit to break sinister schemes, courage to bring order to every quarter, and her own lonely bravery to safeguard peace across the land.
In this life, she has no attachments, no heart, and no love.
There is no romance in this game, only the people to protect.
