The indifferent and conservative young Marquis Sun Zhaoxuan has no intention of fighting for power. He only wants to protect his sister in the palace and the precarious Sun family.
But traps followed one after another, and he was forced step by step into a thrilling power chess game. He must find out three things: Who is harming them? Who is in control? The royal family, the fourth concubine, the aristocratic family, who is the real chess player?
He entered the game with his own body and cracked the opponent's killer moves step by step, but found that what he had just opened was only the first page of the chess game.
He finally understood: In the past, what I thought about was how to survive. From now on, what I think about is how to let you die first.

But the revelation of the truth is just the beginning of a bigger storm. Confrontations in the court, strife in the harem, palace coups, battles on the battlefield - there is only one remaining chess game left in his hands.
When he finally got out of the chess game and won the world, he looked back and discovered: How many of the people he wanted to protect in the first place were left?
