On their wedding night, the bride raided his study.
Cui Heng pretended not to know, but remembered this detail in his heart.
He is the eldest son of the Bolingcui family. He looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact he is a puppet. The prime minister regards him as a pawn to check and balance the prince, the prince regards him as a trump card to win over his old ministers, and his relatives regard him as an ant that can be crushed to death at any time.
Even his new wife was a spy planted by others.
Everyone thought he was as gentle as jade and could be manipulated by others.
Unknown to everyone, he has been waiting.
My father died suddenly, leaving behind a last word: "You are not my biological child——"
The jade box is opened, and the seal of the former deposed prince reveals his true identity: he is an orphan of the royal family, the only bloodline of the murder thirty years ago.
Overnight, they were besieged on all sides.
The prime minister wanted to use him as a bargaining chip, his relatives wanted his life, the prince wanted his secrets, and the emperor used him as a pawn to check and balance the world.
How can a young man from an aristocratic family with no military power, no foundation, and who may be sacrificed at any time survive a fatal chess game?
Cui Heng chose to enter the game.
Playing dumb, showing weakness, showing kindness, showing loyalty - he made everyone think he was one of their own.
The Hu merchants from the Western Market were his money bag, the border army generals were his sword handles, and the Luotuo counselors were his brains.
When Chang'an fell, the emperor fled westward, and the world was in chaos, everyone discovered that——
The young man they regarded as their puppet was already the only player on the chessboard.
Do you think you are manipulating him? No, you're in his game.
