Tongue and Sword Cover Mountains and Rivers

Wen Jing, a top strategist who came from a poor family, worked hard to assist the mediocre master in his previous life, hoping to create a clear future in troubled times. However, due to his excessive talent and insight into people's hearts, he was jealous of his close friends and jealous of his benefactors. He was eventually framed by a joint team and was torn apart in the city for the crime of "causing chaos in the imperial court", affecting the entire family. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to the night before he surrendered to his first lord and offered the "Three Strategies for Dingding". What burns in the chest is no longer the blood of loyalty, but the cold flame of revenge and the ambition to subvert the world. In this life, he no longer seeks a wise master, but wants to become a chess player. Those drunken and jealous princes are the perfect pieces on his chessboard. Using his past life memories, he accurately avoids traps and uses his strength to gain strength. First, he helped the tyrannical Duke Yan consolidate his power in exchange for the first pot of gold and fame; then he instigated a fight between the greedy King Zhao and the Marquis of Chu, secretly recruited refugees, and cultivated dead soldiers. He circles between extravagant banquets and bloody battlefields, using the sharpest words as a sword to cut through the greed and fear in people's hearts. The betrayers of the past are stepping into the web he carefully woven step by step. However, in the whirlpool of power and revenge, Wen Jing also faces the ultimate torture: When he controls the world with his conspiracy, has he become the kind of person he once hated most? And when the huge changes are destined to come a year later, can he really turn things around, or is he just delaying the tragedy?
