The Prince of Qin commands an army of five hundred thousand and wields considerable influence at court, making him a thorn in the emperor's side.
To get rid of him, the emperor gives Feng Jing, the half-brother of Noble Consort Feng, to the Prince of Qin as a consort.
In truth, Feng Jing is sent as an assassin.
After getting to know him for a while, Feng Jing discovers that the Prince of Qin is nothing like the emperor claimed. He is a War God indispensable to Great Qi, keeping the country stable.
Eventually, Feng Jing begins refusing to carry out his orders.
The emperor presses him hard, while the Prince of Qin doesn't trust him. Caught between them, Feng Jing is torn and tries to take his own life several times, but fails. Later, he realizes that each time he attempts suicide, the emperor gives him a little more time. So he turns his attempts into a performance. As he “dies” again and again, three years pass before he even realizes it, all spent in the Prince of Qin's manor.
Feng Jing grows ever fonder of the Prince of Qin, while the prince continues to ignore his true feelings, keeping Feng Jing at a distance and treating the idea of taking a male consort as a disgrace...
