The 23-year-old miracle doctor Han Xusheng walks among the rivers, lakes and courts with a cool demeanor. His medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and the jade pendant around his waist hides the past of his youth. He never thought that he would meet Xu Zhiwei, the infamous 17-year-old general, in a hazy brothel. He was dressed in dark attire, holding a folding fan, his platinum hair flowing in the shadow of the lamp, his peach-blossom eyes full of teasing, and his mouth full of frivolous teasing.
One is a doctor who abides by etiquette and has compassion, the other is a cynical young general with superior force; one is burdened with the mystery of the tragic death of his master, and the other is hiding the bloody hatred of his mother who was unjustly killed. They were tit-for-tat when they first met, but gradually became entangled in each other's confrontations: he healed him, and saw the paranoia behind his slutty mask; he pestered him and teased him, and fell in love with the gentleness between his cold eyebrows.
When Han Shusheng's jade pendant is seen by Xu Zhiwei, when the identity of the "old friend" is shaken in the fog, and when Xu Zhiwei's brother - the sickly prince who had an old friendship with Han Shusheng - reappears, the fate of the three people is involved in the whirlpool of imperial power struggles and conspiracy. Who are the chess pieces? Who is the chess player? The seemingly fateful reunion hides a reversal that subverts cognition.
Concept: Machiavellianism is a knife, which cuts the scars of the past, but also allows them to see each other's sincerity clearly in the blood; misplacement is a fog, which blurs the outline of memory, but cannot stop the trembling of souls when they recognize each other. When the young general puts away his cynical mask, and when the cold and merciless doctor takes off his armor of forbearance, he realizes that fate is never meant to make them sink in misery, but to understand after all the difficulties and dangers: the only person who can illuminate the rest of each other's lives is the other person. This happiness carries too many scars, but it also makes people cry. The encounter between the two seemed accidental, but in fact it was inevitable due to the chess game of power. Shen Yanqiu's pressing steps and the Queen's secret calculation push them into the center of the whirlpool - Su Lingding's poisoning and Uncle Zhou's strange illness. Each case is a pawn in the game of power, and under the pawns are countless innocent people who have been sacrificed.
