When he woke up, fifteen-year-old Chen Li was already in the wilderness of Hexi: homeless, moneyless, injured, and had to be guaranteed a guarantee even to enter the city. He finally found a place in a border town liquor store, but an attack destroyed everything, and he was reduced from a helper to a slave.
There is no prominent family, and no force to suppress the troubled times. Chen Li can only discern who is lying, who can cooperate, and who is willing to pay the price for the promise among the intertwined interests of the military town, business alliances and tribes. From a slave to the master of one party, from a lonely city in Hexi to a chess game in the world, he wants to temporarily bring people who are hostile to each other together, and also wants to find out who it is, treating the lives of countless ordinary people as bargaining chips that can be discarded.
