Lin Ce was reborn, still trapped in the same frail body that coughed up blood, but no longer the helpless lamb to be slaughtered.

In his past life, he had torn up the marriage contract and betrayed the sword immortal wife who had slaughtered her way through the Nine Heavens for him.

In this life, he entered the capital wielding a chessboard—his left hand breaking the stalemate to save the legitimate son of the Duke of the Empire, his right hand holding the marriage contract as he stepped boldly into the high gates of the Su family.

The entire imperial court mocked, “A useless son from the Lin family, and he dares to marry the Phoenix Head of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion?”

He smiled lightly and placed his chess piece. With Bianjing as the board and all living beings as pieces… The Marquis of the North uses the border army as his blade? Then let the old grain transport case be reopened, and cut off the rations of his 30,000 iron cavalry!

The current Prime Minister hides a dagger behind his smile? Then watch as the secret letter of treason is found beneath the skirt of the courtesan from Butterfly Fragrance Pavilion!
