Ma Linfeng, a playboy in the capital, has no ideas, but unexpectedly becomes famous due to a gambling game, and becomes the "love saint" sought after by the whole city. He originally just wanted to wait for death by relying on his words, but he didn't expect that his reputation alarmed the Nine-Five-Year Emperor - Emperor Wen. The young emperor, who was living deep in the palace, was worried that he would not have a name to eliminate dissidents in the court, so he gave him the false name of "Love Saint" with a stroke of his pen and ordered him to enter the palace to deal with all the forces on his behalf.
Ma Linfeng wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly discovered that he could "hear" the moment when others revealed their true feelings. This golden finger may seem useless, but it allows him to accurately find the fatal weakness of every powerful person in the palace of swords and swords. So, he was forced to take on this fatal job.
On the surface, he is a romantic saint, but in fact he is the emperor's pawn; secretly, all forces - concubines, princes, vassals, and enemy spies - are eyeing him. Ma Linfeng has no way to retreat. He can only use love as a blade and the game as a chess, walking a tightrope between the love scene and the court.
Step by step, he came closer to the secret that Emperor Wen tried so hard to conceal: this seemingly powerful emperor actually had a pair of invisible pushing hands behind him. And when Ma Linfeng finally took advantage of the big chess game, he was horrified to find that he was no longer a chess piece, but another "chess player" trapped in the game.
