When Cheng'an stepped into the wild demon world, he held the Queen's secret order in his hand and stood beside him four teammates who "all have their own agendas".
- Deep affection on the surface, but full of calculations behind the scenes.
The stern Lord of Suzaku City chose Ming to use her status as a princess to open up the two worlds and fulfill his ambition to unify Kyushu.
Bai Yu, a half-demon medical woman, uses her as a springboard to escape her fate as a medicine man.
Bai Fang, the seemingly gentle young lord of Shennong City, just wants to use this mission to leave the city that traps him forever.
The innocent and chatty girl Xuan Wu is possessed of dangerous soul witchcraft, and is a secret chess piece laid by the Queen of Blackwater City.
And Chengan himself also hides a blood feud and a secret mission that must be completed.
This is a carefully arranged game of chess, in which everyone is a pawn and everyone thinks they are a chess player.
From testing each other to trusting each other in life and death, they have experienced:
In the underwater illusion, all mana is lost, and you can only hand your back to the "enemy";
Faced with a millennium conspiracy in the empty city of Shennong, they were forced to uncover each other's most painful scars;
In the Black Water Mirror Realm, I saw with my own eyes the unbearable past and struggling desires in the other person's memory...
Until the day of the decisive battle, the mastermind behind the scenes laughed: "Look, you fools taking advantage of each other!"
Chengan stood in front of everyone, her sword light reflecting four equally determined faces.
Later, a city of bridges stood between the two worlds.
Someone asked how those five young people who had "each had their own agenda" ended up where they are today.
Chengan looked around him——
She was diagnosing and treating monsters but didn't forget to stare at her best friend who drank medicine on time.
The lover who naturally took over the chores in her hands while reviewing the documents of Suzaku City,
Brothers and sisters who sent me Merman specialties and novel blueprints from afar,
There was also the younger sister who came running up and down, holding out improved and harmless witchcraft like a treasure.
She just smiled:
"Maybe it's because we all finally chose to believe in the better version of ourselves that is willing to believe in each other."
