The next young master of Hanjin City, Han Jinse, had his whole family slaughtered by King Yong's cavalry, and was tortured to death in the dungeon without revealing a single word of the clan's secrets.
When he opened his eyes again, it was Su Rongyu, the concubine of Su Mansion.
When he was young, he was taken back by his father, but he was repeatedly poisoned by his aunt and sister. After resurrecting from the dead, King Yong came to hire him overnight to "bring happiness" to the terminally ill prince. The wedding dress exceeds the standard and hides mysteries. She could see through it at a glance: someone wanted to use her death to uproot Princess Yong and her son.
On the wedding night, Jin Zhen frightened the horse and took advantage of the chaos to escape. At the end of the long street, she bumped into Xiao Jue, a handsome man from Beijing, who pointed out a way to survive when she was desperate.
In order to avenge the annihilation of her family, she knocked on the prime minister's house at night and offered a strategy to defeat the enemy in the north, which solved Shen Wei's urgent need and won him a place of refuge. He openly helped him gain power, but secretly used a knife to kill people, pushing King Yong into the abyss step by step.
But on the chessboard of revenge, she was not the only one to make a move. The secret guard beside Prime Minister Shen, Mo Li, was the chess player in another game.
King Yong fell, Prime Minister Shen was executed, and the former crown prince Mo Li ascended the throne. Su Rongyu thought everything was finally over, but found that this ally who had fought side by side had already turned his blade towards Xiao Jue. That night, the news came that Xiao Jue had "died in battle" and her sky fell.
But she didn't fall.
She lay dormant in the palace, checking inch by inch and waiting bit by bit. Finally, Xiao Jue escaped from death and took his old troops back to Changjing. The chess game is over, Mo Li is defeated, and all grudges are in the past.
After all the glitz was gone, she finally understood: no one was the real winner in the entire chess game.
She put down the knife and her hatred. Xiao Jue took her hand and they walked out of the palace gate side by side.
