Zeng Lie, a well-known devil in the village in the city, was a fierce, wild and clever man, but he never thought that his good brother Chen Mo would set up a trap for a woman. When his childhood sweetheart Bai Yueguang Lin Xue was taken away by Chen Mo in a carefully planned "hero rescue beauty", and when he was reduced from a street fighter to a murder suspect overnight, Zeng Lie finally understood: the deepest jealousy is not to take away everything from you, but to let you destroy yourself with your own hands.
After being framed and imprisoned for three years, Zeng Lie met a strange old man behind bars who changed his life. The "chess piece theory" mentioned by the old man suddenly made him realize - it turns out that everyone is a chess player, but most people live their lives as other people's chess pieces. After being released from prison, the world has been turned upside down: Chen Mo has become a business upstart with billions, and Lin Xue is about to hold the wedding of the century with him.
But Zeng Lie didn't care about this. All he knew was that the game had just begun. When he uses an inconspicuous chess piece to shake up the entire chess game, and when all the villains discover that this "little gangster" is the real chess player, a brain-burning showdown about wisdom, humanity and revenge is about to take place in the steel forest of Ming City.
