Shen Cheng was once the most brilliant and talented detective.
He was young and arrogant, underestimated the enemy and miscalculated, causing the master who had protected him all his life to be buried in the murderer's trap.
The murderer was brought to justice and the dust settled, but he was trapped in endless guilt. From then on, he sealed his sword and sealed his heart, not daring to touch another case again.
The moment he rescued someone who fell into the water, he fell into another world and became Shi Cheng, an idle clerk in the declining noble family.
In the past life, I was afraid of crime and disaster. In this life, I just want to be safe and fish in peace, away from the vicious disputes and the whirlpool of the court.
However, the world is turbid and mysterious cases emerge one after another.
He originally watched with a cold eye, but became increasingly uneasy and was forced to take action to solve the mystery.
The investigation revealed ghost stories in the city, and the murder case revealed the secrets of the aristocratic family. Each piece of evidence pointed to the old grudges in the court that had been buried for decades.
Because of this, he ran into Xie Heng's eyes.
Xie Heng, the youngest powerful official in both the government and the public, has a gentle skin but is isolated from his own flesh and blood.
His whole family was destroyed when he was young, and he was burdened with a sea of blood and unparalleled secrets. He worked hard to become an official, playing chess for half his life, just to find a truth that has not been revealed for a long time.
A person avoids crime, is haunted by inner demons, and just wants to survive;
One person pursues evil and hates, sinks into the abyss, and refuses to stop for the rest of his life.
Everyone knows that Prime Minister Xie has unpredictable methods and no weaknesses.
Only after meeting Shi Cheng, she entangled him step by step and lured him into the game again and again.
He uses his heaven-defying eyes to investigate the world's most mysterious cases;
He gave him stability in troubled times and helped him overcome his inner demons for many years.
It was originally a chess game of mutual use, but in the end it became each other's only salvation.
Intention: In the previous life, I was arrogant and sharp, but in my previous life I was riddled with regrets.
In this life, I just want to lie flat and fish, avoid situations, avoid power, and avoid disputes.
Unexpectedly, the most powerful chess official in the court would pester him to find out all the injustices in the world and drag him out of the dark night that had been closed for many years.
