In the winter of the eighth year of Jinghe, Luoyang was covered with snow.
Overnight, the sky of Zhenguo Palace collapsed. Bad news came from the border: Duke Yu was killed in an ambush, and all 80,000 Jingchang troops were wiped out. His wife, Su Yuanqiu, was seriously injured and returned to Beijing. She beat the drum and cried blood, accusing the army of adultery. However, on the day of the Duke's funeral, a fire destroyed all the Yu family, which had been famous for centuries, leaving only the orphan Yu Zhi.
The enemy is a family friend of the You family. On the execution ground, Yu Zhi watched the heads of more than 300 members of the You family fall to the ground, feeling ridiculous to the core. However, when she followed a mysterious figure into the teahouse, what was waiting for her was You Hebi, who was supposed to be dead.
In the teahouse, enemies meet. One was poisoned by a strange poison and lost all his martial arts skills. He held a hairpin to his throat and screamed to ask for the truth; They were close friends in the past, but they are also blood feuds today. The Yu family and the You family, both of them, perished overnight. Behind them was a bottomless whirlpool of power.
As a result, a revenge and redemption with the world at its core quietly took shape.
Yu Zhi hid his talents and entered the game with a weak body. He became the "chess player" in the dark in the sight of the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the six major families. You Hebi erased the past and rushed to the battlefield holding the tokens of old friends, hoping to use his military exploits as a blade to open a bloody path to the truth.
However, the chess game has just begun, and the murderous intention has arrived. Is the maid next to me an eyeliner or a dead soldier? Are there secrets hidden under mother's protection? And what kind of face does the young emperor who sits on the dragon's throne hide behind his comfort and comfort?
In the mist, Yu Zhi picked up the black chips and played chess with himself. She used herself as bait and swore an oath of blood before the Buddha:
"I will climb high to see the pagoda."
Intention: truth and price
