The Su family offers blood as a sacrifice, setting in motion a heavenly fate chess game spanning a thousand years.
Su Nianqing is reborn on the sacrificial altar, and a long-sealed memory from ages past suddenly surges into her mind.
She is not the Su family's only sacrifice, but merely a bait soul that wanders through cycles of reincarnation, gathering the world's fortune.
Another true body, bound to the same fate as hers, is sealed beneath the earth in a great formation, enduring heavenly punishment and vengeful malice in her place, day and night for a thousand years.
The contract was decided long ago: once the bait soul's fortune is complete, the two souls will kill each other and merge their fates into one, allowing the evil force behind the scenes to devour the complete heavenly mandate in a single bite.
The Su ancestors, the clan members, and the evil master at the heart of the formation are all waiting for this harvest.
Everyone says that a sacrifice chosen by fate can only accept its lot and die.
But in this life, Su Nianqing sees the entire scheme clearly.
The bait soul and the true body imprisoned in the cage set aside a thousand years of hatred and choose to join forces to break the game.
If our ancestors set up this chessboard, then we'll overturn this thousand-year deadlock that has trapped countless people chosen by fate.
If the Heavenly Dao has decided our fate, then we'll rewrite it with our own hands!
