Everyone said that Emperor Xiao cherished talents and gave Su Qingyan immense power.
No one knew that she was an orphan from the previous dynasty, a sharp blade placed by the emperor in the court.
Xie Hengci, King Jing of Beichen, was burdened with a sea of blood on the border. He entered the capital with the intention of overthrowing the Xiao family. When they first met, they each had their own plans and tested each other, hoping to use the chips in each other's hands to complete their own plans.
But they can investigate the case side by side step by step, protecting each other through thick and thin, and undue affection grows in the cracks of power and intrigue.
The emperor's use, the crown prince's fear, the shackles of his life experience, and the sea of blood of his family and country lie between them.
Mountains and rivers are barriers, imprisoning them both.
When the palace becomes beacon-fired, the chess game finally ends.
She sacrificed her life to bring peace to the world in troubled times.
He seized the world at his fingertips, but lost his only confidant forever.
Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are still there, but only one person is left trapped in old thoughts for the rest of his life.
Intention: Power is the prison, love is the shackles. In the chess game of mountains and rivers, those who are sincere cannot escape and die in the game.
