In the winter of the eleventh year of Shaoxing, there was heavy snow in Lin'an City. When the news of Yue Fei's murder in Feng Boting came, the entire Song Dynasty fell into a state of deathly silence. No one noticed that Su Jingming, a down-and-out scholar who had just arrived from outside the city, was kneeling in the snow tremblingly, but his eyes were terrifyingly calm.
No one knows that he has another piece of "history" in his mind - one that he spent twenty years "dreaming" about and that belongs to the entire deduction and decoding of this era by countless smart people thousands of years later. From the murder of Yue Fei to the fall of Qin Hui's power, from the Shaoxing peace talks to Wanyan Liang's southern invasion, every node and every game is clear.

But he didn't know that the mysterious woman who always secretly handed him information was the real operator of this chess game...
