For a hundred years, the flames of war have raged across China without respite, with Yan and Chu facing off in the north and south. The third prince of the Helan royal house, Helan Yun, rises out of nowhere. Amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, war flames engulf Jinling.
Helan Yun never intended to claim the throne, but one careless remark changes the course of his life in a way worthy of a play.
When will the lands of the Nine Provinces finally be united? Will he be a carefree prince at leisure, or ascend the throne and sweep south to conquer the world?
Jiangnan is full of beautiful women, their loveliness like mist, their tenderness soft as silk.
