Sword Bone 劍骨 (Jian Gu)

SYNOPSIS
Pei Min, the great general of the Northern Territory, made outstanding military achievements but was executed with his entire family for a crime he did not commit. Ning Yi, a young man from Xiling, saved the only survivor of the general's family, his daughter, by coincidence. From then on, the two embarked on a difficult journey to survive. Three princes competed for the throne, using the world as a chessboard and the people as chess pieces. Ning Yi brought the "sister" into the imperial city. In this chaotic situation, he must escape his identity as a "chess piece" and become a "player" to survive. Ning Yi has no one to rely on, except for a sword.
