In his previous life, he was the sharpest sword in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. He went to war at the age of eighteen and fought bloody battles for seven years. He conquered half of the country for the Hou Mansion and earned great military exploits for his brother. But at the celebration banquet, what awaited him was not a reward, but a glass of poisonous wine. His adoptive father fed him poison, while his brother watched with cold eyes. Before he died, he learned that he was not a bloodline of the Hou family at all, but the orphan of a former rebel general. He was adopted for eighteen years just so that he could inherit his biological father's talent as a general and work hard for the Marquis until his death.
I will never die with my eyes in peace.
When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the year when he was sixteen years old and had just been promoted to deputy general. Everything has not happened yet: his adoptive father is still wearing a mask of love, his brother is still pretending to care, and the military advisor who killed his whole family in his previous life has just entered the Hou Mansion. In this life, he no longer believed in anyone's warmth, secretly investigated his life experience, and laid a dragnet in advance.
And in this chess game, he met someone - Xie Buyu, the youngest regent in the dynasty. In his previous life, this person had offered him an olive branch when he was defeated, but he rejected it; in this life, Xie Buyu came to him and offered him an offer he couldn't refuse: he would help Shen Du get revenge, and Shen Du would help him eliminate political enemies in the DPRK. Two chess players with their own thoughts began a dangerous cooperation.
But Shen Du gradually discovered that there was something hidden in Xie Buyu's eyes that he shouldn't have. And he himself, unknowingly, had feelings for this enemy from his previous life that he shouldn't have.
