I saved his life with my own hands, and calculated the day of his death with my own hands.
Yun Xi, the chief minister of Ni State, is destined to die at the age of twenty-five, and is the most sober prophet of tragedy in the dynasty. During a divination for the fate of the country, she saw a bloody prophecy of "the star will fall into evil and the country will be overthrown", and the star pointed to Xiao Yi, a young general with great military exploits. Faced with the emperor's murderous intention, she issued a military order and used herself as bait to become his "monitor", trying to reverse this inevitable fate from the source.
She was his destined supervisor and his only accomplice.
Xiao Yi, a general known as the "King of Hell" on the battlefield, hides a murder case in which his mother died tragically under his appearance of loyalty. He approached Yunxi not only because of his intuitive attraction, but also to explore the truth. He didn't know that this woman, as cold as a star, was not only a glimmer of hope in his darkness, but also the sharpest sword hanging above his head.
The two people, with their own thoughts, were ordered to go to the crisis-ridden Wushan and Jiangnan together. Along the way, the strange "Wushan God" sacrifice and the madman's raving about "the emperor killed the emperor" all point to the darkest core of the dynasty. Yun Xi is torn between surveillance and heartbeat, and Xiao Yi's faith collapses between loyalty and truth.
As the prophecy pressed closer and closer, they finally discovered that the so-called "prophecy of national destruction" was nothing more than a self-fulfilling conspiracy carefully planned by the regicide.
In this deadly chess game with the world at stake, Yun Xi faces the final decision: Should she comply with destiny and kill him with her own hands? Or should he go against fate and use his remaining lifespan to gamble on a future for him in a deadlock?
