I'm No Hound of the Imperial Court

This is the story of an ambitious opportunist with ideals in his heart, yet trapped by reality. The Great Wei court is in turmoil, with the powerful scheming against one another. Though Lin Cheng is unwilling in every way, he has no choice but to become a pawn manipulated by others if he wants to survive. As a pawn, his sole obsession is to become the one who moves the pieces, and change this rotten, chaotic world. So what if the road ahead is filled with hardship, or fate weighs down on him? As long as there is even the slimmest chance, he will defy heaven itself, determined to win by half a move!
