Office worker Ye Chen transmigrates to another world with no system and no spiritual root, left with only a shabby house and five taels of silver. He rescues a beauty on the mountain, and half a month later she shows up claiming to be pregnant with his child. Ye Chen supports the family, unaware his wife is the Nine Nether Empress and he himself is a hidden ninth prince. Family vendettas, succession struggles, and national wars ensue—he must protect his wife, daughter, and brothers, and shatter the century-old chess game set by his father the emperor.
