Zhou Yan, a PhD in archaeology, transmigrates into the body of Zhuge Liang, while Xu Yuan, a gaming streamer, becomes Sima Yi. The two modern men serve opposing lords during the Three Kingdoms era, yet find in each other their only true confidant at a small pavilion on the border. Their fragile bond is tested when historians from the future arrive bearing a heavenly book, forcing them to play a game of strategy in which neither can afford to lose, caught between changing fate and saving their own lives. The higher intelligent men climb in their contest, the more they fear not defeat, but meeting a worthy opponent with no one left to play against. Fate may have written the script long ago, but two men who know the script by heart are determined to tear it apart, page by page, and rewrite it.
