Cheng Zuo Lu

The Northern and Southern Dynasties have been divided for three hundred years. The four kingdoms in the north have been fighting constantly. The clans of the Southern Dynasties have divided themselves into one party. The people of the world have long been reduced to nothing in the flames of war!​ Xuanyuan Tuo, an unknown person from a poor family, stepped into the court thanks to the Queen Mother's appreciation. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a name for himself, but was framed by the Seventh Prince. His entire family was almost massacred, and he himself fell from the clouds to death row.​ In a desperate situation, he broke out of the siege and fled to Beiting, just as a wave of refugee uprisings swept across the border. Seeing the tragic situation of people dying of hunger everywhere, Xuanyuan Tuo clenched his fists and made a blood oath: If we can't end this troubled world, how can we survive!​ He used the power of Beiting Liangye to pull up the team, and relied on Liu Mingtian's vicious plan to disintegrate the Southern Dynasty clan alliance. On the battlefield, he defeated the majority with less, and set up camp step by step in the court. He counterattacked all the way from the border commander. Wherever the sword pointed, the rebels fled and the princes bowed their heads. Seeing that the great cause of unification was close at hand——​ But he didn't realize that behind every good step, there was the shadow of Gu Xi, the "knot" of Yuezhi Pavilion. She confuses the nobles of the Northern Dynasty with illusions, manipulates people's hearts at a price, sends the little Yao'er into the palace as an informant, and restrains all forces. She seems to be the driving force to help him reach the top, but in fact she is harvesting chips for a thousand-year old covenant.​ When Xuanyuan Tuo's army conquered the last enemy city, what kind of fatal price was hidden in the celebration wine brought by Gu Xi? Will the relatives and friends he values ​​as treasures and the country he has worked so hard to build become the abandoned pieces in her chess game?​ Two masters play chess. One master controls the world with his sword in front of the stage, while the other master controls life and death behind the scenes.
