Deep in debt and with nowhere left to turn, Chen Xuan unexpectedly received a message from an unfamiliar WeChat account: "I am Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Send me 500 yuan to help me out of a tight spot, and I'll grant you wealth beyond your wildest dreams."
Seven hundred yuan bought him a celestial opportunity spanning a thousand years, as well as a game of strategy with unfathomable depths.
In an underground palace, an emperor of ages past offered him an opportunity, while concealing calculations he never voiced.
In the mortal world, aristocratic clans were arrogant, rogue cultivators struggled to survive, and countless eyes watched quietly from the shadows.
Four scattered fragments of dragon jade were tied to the rise and fall of the fortunes of the land of Huaxia.
The young man concealed his brilliance and, between the bustle of everyday life and the flash of blades, embarked on a path of cultivation. He would protect the mortal world, yet also break free of his fate.
Rising from the mortal world and tempering his heart on the path to immortality, he followed the footsteps of destiny, one step at a time. Could he ultimately transform from a chess piece into the one moving the pieces?
