Deep in the palace of the Chu Dynasty, the whirlpool of intrigues was surging. Ling Yuan, the orphan in the cold palace, has been shrouded in the haze of fate since his birth. His mother died unjustly, and he grew up tenaciously in desolation and loneliness.
At the age of six, he emerged with his outstanding poetry talent, but he also fell into the undercurrent of disputes in the court. He met the innocent and kind-hearted Lin Wanqing, and love became a bright color in his gloomy life. However, the court struggle was never merciful. He was plotted on the hunting ground and framed by traitors in the court. He was in desperate situations again and again.
When the border was in danger, Ling Yuan took the initiative to volunteer. He went through the test of life and death in the raging war, and grew from a young prince to a resolute general. After his triumphant return, his prestige grew. But the temptation of power made the brother jealous. He was constantly framed by other princes, and struggled to move forward under the dual torture of emotion and power.
In the end, with his extraordinary wisdom and firm will, Ling Yuan successfully broke through the whirlpool of intrigues, ascended to the position of prince, and then ascended to the throne as emperor. He joined hands with Lin Wanqing to create the prosperous age of the Chu Dynasty and wrote a legendary chapter from a poor prince to a wise king.
