Xiao Heng, the eldest son of Zhennan Palace, was a well-known playboy in the capital.
No one knows that this prince has a witch doctor's fragment hidden in his sleeve, and that the silver needle at his fingertips can determine life or death. He had been pretending to be crazy and stupid for more than ten years, but he was just waiting for an opportunity - for the seventh prince who controlled the court and secretly communicated with foreign enemies to reveal his flaws.
There was a big epidemic in Jiangnan, so he was ordered to go south and met Shen Qingluan, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family. From testing each other to walking side by side, the two gradually tore apart the trap that the Seventh Prince had been running for many years.
But the chess game is far from over. When Beidi's cavalry invaded the territory, Yuenu, the legitimate daughter of the Wu clan, came to Beijing with her token and brought out the old alliance that had been dusty for twenty years. Xiao Heng was forced to go north, dealing with tribes, rebels and craftsmen between the grasslands and the Gobi. While Shen Qingluan stayed in the capital, facing forced marriage, frame-up, and a fatal murderous plot against Xiao Heng alone.
When all the chess pieces were settled, Xiao Heng discovered that the seventh prince was never the only player in this game.
