Twelve years ago, the Grand Liang State-Protecting Manor fell overnight, its entire household slaughtered. Six-year-old Mu Hai hid inside a rice jar and was rescued by Li Changsheng, the "greatest strategist under heaven." He was taken to the bamboo forests of Great Xia, where he became the last surviving child of the Mu family.
No one knew that Li Changsheng was actually a transmigrator from the future. Out of a sense of debt to Mu Hai's father, he raised the orphan for twelve years and painstakingly laid out a grand scheme: use Mu Hai as a chess piece to help Great Xia's Third Princess, Xia Qingxue, seize the throne and expand her army, ultimately swallowing up Great Liang.
Twelve years later, Mu Hai left the mountains. At the Battle of Three Gorges, he won despite being outnumbered and took thirty thousand heads, earning fame in a single battle. But Great Liang was enraged and brought the whole country to bear on him. In the end, the empress sent him to the enemy nation, Great Liang. The world lamented that a peerless hero had become a discarded pawn.
By then, the game had changed and was heading down a different path. As a political hostage, Mu Hai entered the court of Great Liang and rose step by step, stirring up a storm. But then he stumbled upon a truth he had never expected: the Liang Emperor, whom he had hated for twelve years, was not the true culprit behind the massacre of his family.
