In the last years of the Wei Dynasty, the nine monarchs were divided, the royal power was scattered, and the court had long been decayed.
The Gu family of Wu County was once a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and had been noble for generations, but was once involved in the dangerous and unpredictable salt and iron case. The grand master deliberately set up a trap and weaved a web of crime. The huge Gu family was overturned and all the fireworks were extinguished, leaving only the legitimate daughter Gu Nanyin to survive alone.
Amid a sea of blood and hatred, she hid her name from Gu and hid in the world as "Shopkeeper Su", a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan.
She controlled the north-south trade routes and the world's wealth. She used gold and silver as her blades and merchants as her chess pieces to quietly shake the shaky Wei Dynasty.
At the beginning, she chose Xiao Jinyuan, the down-and-out seventh prince, as her chess piece, hoping to use his identity as a down-and-out prince and the imperial power he could use to avenge the Gu family.
The two began to be bound by interests, and formed an alliance of convenience. They tried every step of the way and played games every time.
But after dealing day and night, Gu Nanyin finally realized that the idle and incompetent prince in the eyes of the world was actually a top-level strategic chess player hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity.
She has the world's wealth, and is the hidden owner of Tingyu Tower, secretly controlling half of the world's economy;
He holds a thousand-mile secret guard in his hand, dormant in the deep palace, hiding the edge to aspire to the ninth place.
They are all strangers in desperate situations, and they all endure the burden.
In troubled times, allies are united in a chess game. They work step by step in the cracks where aristocratic families are divided, poor families are divided, and the imperial power is declining, breaking through difficulties, killing enemies, and clearing up the chaos.
Finally, he used his mortal body to break through the troubled times and work together to rebuild the mountains and rivers of Wei.
