Rong Che, the abandoned son of Northern Yan, was sent to the den of tigers and wolves of Xie Xuan, the regent of Dasheng, in the name of "harmony". Everyone regards him as a delicate plaything, a self-preservation tribute for peace.
But in a silent place, he stirred up the world.
Xie Xuan initially thought that this was just a "Ruthless Painting" worth admiring. Until——
In the financial war, he came up with ingenious strategies to turn the tide;
The history pen is like a knife, he holds the isolated evidence and holds the building before it collapses;
With the reform of the imperial examination system, he broke the deadlock and broke the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.
They are confidants who meet their opponents in chess, and they are also prisoners of secret feelings. In the maelstrom of life and death, the cold reason gradually collapses, and ambiguous emotions grow secretly.
However, when the monstrous palace change finally came, Rong Che aimed his sword at Xie Xuan's heart at the last moment.
"Xie Xuan," he smiled, as magnificent as when we first met, but there was a bottomless cold pool in his eyes, "Am I your princess, or am I the last dead move on your chessboard?"
Shocking layout, layer by layer reversal. Is what he is offering the territory of his homeland or Xie Xuan's head?
Family, country and personal relationships, loyalty and betrayal, were completely torn apart at this moment. When all the dust settled, he was proclaimed emperor in the south, and he was emperor in the north, separated by mountains and rivers forever.
What is left is a tragic song of power that no one can solve, and an eternal riddle about "who betrayed whom" for future generations to comment on.
Intention: Country and sincerity, the most painful thing in this life is to achieve perfection
