Zhao Feng, a low-ranking official who was demoted to the frontier, accidentally awakened to the "Destiny Card Drawing System". Whenever he faces a life-and-death crisis or a power game, he can draw cards to obtain the skill cards of ancient heroes - from the art of war of the sage Sun Wu, the strategy of the sage Fan Li, to the force of the overlord Xiang Yu, and even the prophecy ability of Tianjizi. However, Liu Song, the powerful official in the court, had controlled the government for twenty years, and his influence spread throughout the government and the public, and even the emperor became a puppet. Zhao Feng originally wanted to live in seclusion to protect himself, but was involved in the whirlpool of the court because of a "disaster card". The first card he drew was actually the "Minister of the Subjugated Country" - Liu Song's rule must be overthrown within three years, otherwise the system will obliterate him. What's even more fatal is that the system prompts: Each card needs to pay a price. The stronger the ability you use, the more precious you lose. Zhao Feng began to make plans, infiltrating step by step from the small border town, only to discover that there was a more terrifying existence hidden behind Liu Song - a mysterious organization "Tianji Pavilion" that spanned three dynasties. When the emperor's secret letter fell into his hands, Zhao Feng realized that this game was not a simple power struggle from the beginning, but a thousand-year chess game related to the fate of the world. Every time he draws a card, there is one more piece on the chessboard, but the price becomes heavier - friendship, love, and even his own life.
