In the seventh year of Yongchang, the deposed prince Gu Ciyuan has been trapped in front of the cold palace for ten years.
Everyone in the world said that he was as gentle as jade and disappeared in the dust. Only Pei Handeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, could glimpse the stormy waves under the abyss from his unfinished game.
One is Gudeng with "Han" in his name, who is in charge of the imperial edict and prison, and holds life and death in his hands;
One is a trapped dragon named "Linchuan", with a hidden chess game and hidden mountains and rivers in his heart.
From the temptation in front of the cold palace to the hundred-day protection in prison;
From side by side in the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, to entrusting orders on the battlefield in the north.
They worked step by step, planting a shocking cause and effect in the gap between the imperial power.
When the truth hits like an avalanche——
The grievances of the former abandoned Chu, the secrets deep in the dragon veins, the bloody words of the late emperor's edict...
Gu Ciyuan's chess hand finally reached out of the abyss:
"I once said goodbye to this country. Now, I want it to be written in a different way."
And Pei Han's lamp burned all over his body, becoming the most special lamp in history:
Not listed in the harem, not in the ancestral temple, only shining on the new emperor's royal steps, his light will never be extinguished.
"If you want the world, I will guard the mountains and rivers for you."
"If you want justice, I will recast the ruler for you."
"If you only want me -"
"I have been yours for a long time, from the day you called me 'Zhijin'."
The lonely lamp shines on the abyss, holding the ashes as an oath.
This is a two-way redemption that begins with the frost in front of the steps and ends with the warm sun in the mountains and rivers.
Intention: Snow in front of the steps, lights in the prison. Finally the snow melted, the lights came on, and it was time to break out.
