"The mountains and rivers are hidden, and the phoenix will never return; the power and intrigue arise, and love and hate are hard to put down."
Jiang Jianwei is an abandoned girl from the cold palace of Dongling Kingdom. She grew up in the cold palace and endured it for ten years just to uncover the truth about her mother's tragic death. She is extremely intelligent, but she hates power because she knows the cruelty of court struggle.
Xie Guihong The proton of Xiliang Kingdom is as warm and moist as jade on the surface, but in reality it is deeply hidden. Bearing the family curse, he secretly planned to restore the country, but due to an assassination, he formed a secret alliance with Jiang Jianwei.
From the palace to the arena, the two work together to uncover the layers of mystery surrounding the intrigues of the Four Kingdoms:
Palace secrets: The truth behind the queen's death is actually related to a conspiracy that spanned twenty years.
Grudges in the Jianghu: Behind the "Tianji Pavilion", the number one sect in the Jianghu, is actually the shadow of the machinations of the Four Kingdoms.
Hatred between family and country: The destruction of the Xiliang Kingdom and the rise of the Dongling Kingdom hide an unknown transaction.
They trust each other, but they test each other because of their opposing positions; they depend on each other for life and death, but they part ways because of their different ideals.
"No matter how big the mountains and rivers are, they can't match your smile; the phoenix will never return, just because the heart belongs to someone."
She ascended the throne as the empress and protected the world; he retired to the world to pursue the purity in his heart.
This is a game of intrigue and love, as well as a choice between fate and ideals.
"If fate dictates that we go in opposite directions, then I am willing to use the world as a chess piece to exchange for your peace for the rest of your life."
