Xie Huaning enters the capital under accusation, suffers the emperor’s harsh reprimand and a hundred strokes of the cane, and sees her reputation ruined. Her fiancé takes the opportunity to break off their engagement, and the people rise up to condemn her.
Just as she falls from grace, he, the Great Yan Dynasty’s number-one playboy, storms the palace gates alone to shield her from the bloodshed and fury.
He says, “I’m not here to uphold justice. I’m here to stand up for her!”

She says, “I don’t want the world. I only want him!”
Yan Zhen: “You fell into eternal hell to give me a chance to live. So I’ll let that hell engulf the world in exchange for your freedom.”
