The Kingdom of Wei was on the brink of collapse, and the wise-eyed princess Wei Mingli took the initiative to ally with the enemy country and was forced to marry the infamous sixth prince Zhou Chengyi. On their wedding night, she stunned her husband with a backhand, but she didn't know that what was hidden under his drunken eyes was the master of the dark web who was stirring up trouble in the court.
She breaks into his secret room to plan, and he points his sword at her throat and questions her. In the confrontation between life and death, she threw out a blood-stained covenant: "Instead of destroying each other, it is better to conspire in this world!" The two powers were forced to join hands, but when they were assassinated during disaster relief, he blocked the poisonous arrow for her.
In the steamy hot springs, he caught a glimpse of the Phoenix birthmark on her lower back, and the "Pact at Wutong Garden" that had been buried for twenty years suddenly came to life - it turned out that she was the little bride who saved him when he was a child. The Dragon Vein Map, Qingming Pavilion, and the murderous case of the first empress involved the two people in the whirlpool of regicide.
On the night of the palace coup, her wedding dress was stained with blood to guard the city gate, and he led the "Wutong Guard" to break the situation and ascend to the throne. After tearing up the marriage letter, he took out the charcoal engagement contract from his youth: "Wei Mingli, this time I am the one proposing to marry you." The two phoenixes finally played chess, the sycamore trees of the Women's Academy towered into the sky, and the final letter from the master of Qingming Pavilion shone coldly in the ashes of the beacon tower...
Intention: Play chess in troubled times, break fate and make a game.
