In the Zhou Dynasty, there was an undercurrent in the court and intrigues.
Gu Mingxi, General Dingyuan with great military exploits, commanded a hundred thousand frontier troops, he was cold-blooded and ruthless, but he was recalled to the capital because of his great achievements. He thought it was just a routine work report, but he didn't know that he had already become a pawn in the game between various forces.
Shen Mengqing, the powerful regent, looks as gentle as jade, but is actually very scheming. He was frail and sick, but he controlled the government with thunderous means. Even the emperor was afraid of him.
The two met tit for tat when they first met.
Gu Mingxi was disgusted by his schemes, and Shen Mengqing was afraid of his military power.
But when Shen Mengqing was seriously injured in an assassination attempt, Gu Mingxi unexpectedly discovered that the regent was not as ruthless as rumored.
And the jade pendant with hidden secrets around his waist is even more involved in a conspiracy that can overthrow the dynasty...
Machiavellianism and desire are intertwined, temptation and sincerity coexist.
In this turbulent court, who is the real chess player?
Purpose: "In the whirlpool of power, sincerity is the biggest bet and the sharpest knife."
