The Dajing Dynasty was in turmoil due to internal and external troubles. Lu Ye, who was originally a scout in the Polu camp in the north, was framed when he caught a general having an affair with Beidi. He ended up in Niwa Street in the south of the capital.
In the south of the city, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. It is the gathering place of three religions and nine streams. Lu Ye, a rough guy outside the customs, was blackmailed by the gangsters here, and then relied on his fierce fighting skills and extraordinary calculations to use the market as a chessboard to play with the gangsters, evil gentry, Jianghu gangs, and various factions in the court.
He is poor and arrogant, but in his heart he pretends to be little people like the lame father and the blind girl; he is cruel in mind, but he is very protective of his brothers and values love and justice. Starting from the market, getting involved in the undercurrent of the court, and then stirring up the world's chess game, Lu Ye gathered his old border troops to resist the invasion of Beidi and quell the civil strife.
In this troubled world, he is like an unruly chess piece, breaking the inherent rules, blazing his own path of heroism in the fog of rivers, lakes and courts, and writing a legendary chapter from a ruffian outside the customs to a ruler in troubled times.
