Lu Chen spent his whole life trying to survive in the game, but in the end he died from a glass of poisoned wine. When he opened his eyes again, he turned out to be the sickly and frail prince Dong Yao should not have survived - Feng Linyuan.
When he woke up, the poisoned wine was still cold, the palace's eyeliners were all around him, and secret orders from the palace were urging him to die. The emperor's brother Feng Chengyao wants him to die, the court officials want him to die, and the remnants of old cases in the dark are also staring at his sick bones, trying to find out the secret of the "Phoenix Bone Edict".
Everyone thought that Feng Linyuan was lying on the sickbed, dying soon, and was a useless chess piece that could be discarded at any time. But they didn't know that inside this dying body was a heart that was best at setting up traps.
He coughed up blood to show weakness, lowered his eyes to hide his edge, and used his remaining life as bait to drag the palace, the court, the border and the hidden lines of the four countries into the chessboard step by step. The powerful minister Xiao Wenchuan tried every step of the way, wanting to use him to overturn the situation, but was also pulled by his sharp edge; Pei Wujiu was ordered to monitor, with the blade hanging at his side, but he was moved by undue emotions in the life-and-death confrontations; Feng Chengyao was jealous of him and hated him, but he did not allow others to break his bones first.
Some people want to use him, some want to tame him, some want to protect him, and some want to destroy him with their own hands.
A volume of phoenix bone edict reveals the murders of the old dynasty, the secrets of imperial power and the old covenants of the Four Kingdoms. The closer Feng Linyuan got to the truth, the more he discovered that he was never an outsider, but the first one to be written into a dead end in this game of chess.
Only this time, he's not a pawn.
He wants to wear this sick body and personally overturn everyone's chessboard between tenderness and temptation, betrayal and protection, imperial power and lust.
Before the poisonous wine cools down, the sick king has woken up.
They were waiting for him to die, and he was waiting for everyone to join in.
Overall it sounds very comfortable
