A sword, a jug of wine, a whole life; half in the martial world, half in office.
Ever since Bai Liushuang founded Beiyang Stockade five years ago, she had lived a quiet, uneventful life. Then Xie Chaosheng, the grandson of her master's old friend, appeared and shattered that long stretch of peace. Trouble was brewing, and no one could avoid it. All they could hope for was to minimize the harm.
Whether it was Bai Liushuang, seeking the truth; Xie Chaosheng, shrouded in mystery; Hua Niang, a woman with many faces; or the many other people of the martial world, none could escape the word “loyalty,” no matter how carefree they were. Whether born into poverty or a family of scholars, all were caught in this game of chess.
Bai Liushuang may be highly skilled in martial arts, but she is hopeless when it comes to matters of the heart. Watch as she dispels the layers of mystery in this grand game, steadies both the martial world and the court, resolves her inner doubts, and discovers the love that exists in this world.
Theme: Whether you serve at court or roam the martial world, whether born into poverty or a family of scholars, no one can escape the call of loyalty and righteousness. If you hold your family in your heart and your country in your eyes, you are a hero.
