In the third year of Dasheng and Shengxi, it was the first snowy night. Seventeen-year-old Xiao Heng, the eldest son of Prince Huai, woke up from the nightmare of his entire family being destroyed... He was reborn in a new life with no golden fingers, no military power, and no silver. He only had an old jade entrusted to him by his father on the eve of his conviction, and a past life memory that he could not remember completely and may not be accurate anymore. So he put on a disguise: he bowed his head in front of others, answered only one word - "yes", and hid his edge in this prison. The chess game can also be seen in the cage. I met Shen Yunqian in the market, and over a glass of wine I heard the news of unpaid wages in the north; between the old files and accounts, I spelled out the outline of the same hand behind my father's injustice and the relegation of my mentor; I was hiding in front of the emperor and was exposed in exchange for a "viewing position"; when the storm broke out, I used the power of six parties to retrieve the palace, and put myself on the emperor's chessboard. When Jingzhe thunder fell, he said "yes" for the first time in the court... This is a novel about "chess" - six parties check and balance each other, every weakness is a build-up, every test is a move; the only thing the protagonist holds in his hand is the information gap, and every time he uses it, he has to pay a price. This is also a novel about "living" - the mother's hand that does not open the door, the snow melting in the sister's box, the dried osmanthus sent by the teacher from outside the mountains, all the background of the conspiracy is the person she wants to protect.
