Wen Jibai was expected to die by others in his life.
At the age of seventeen, the Wen family was wiped out, and he escaped by hiding in a dry well.
At the age of twenty-five, he was infected with a strange poison that caused attacks once a month. The antidote was in the hands of the person who killed his whole family.
He was Su Jingzhi's chess piece for eight years, Mo Shu's best sword, and the most obedient piece in the game.
Until he met Shang Muye.
The man who squatted down and looked at him levelly in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment,
The person who said "Don't die, all your faults will be mine if you die", but his actions were protective.
The one who didn't lie to him when the whole world lied to him.
Wen Jibai wanted to stand up from the chessboard for the first time.
In this life, Shang Muye has distrusted people the most.
At the age of fifteen, he was framed and imprisoned. He was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for three months with no one to care about him.
He learned: don't trust his father, don't trust his brother, don't trust anyone.
Until he met Wen Jibai.
The man who smiled at him in prison,
The person who understood him in just three sentences,
The person who was still figuring out how to survive for him even though he was about to die.
For the first time, Shang Muye wanted to give his knife to another person.
This is a chess game that has been played for twenty-three years.
The chess player is Su Jingzhi, and the chess pieces are from the world.
But the chess pieces don't know—the chess pieces can also capture the chess piece.
Interest makes them meet, desperation makes them trust, the truth makes them fall in love, and the world makes them side by side.
Wen Jibai × Shang Muye.
Fishing beauty × cold-faced loyal dog.
From the dry well to the border, from the chess pieces to the chess players.
There is only one person in this world who can make him come out of the darkness.
"Zhao Ming - is it dawn?"
"It's bright."
Intention: When the chess pieces have hearts, the chess game becomes chaotic.
