Shen Xiong rose from the wilderness to the emperor, but every night he dreamed of the flames of his sworn brother's self-immolation.
His nine sons share the same mother, but they all have their own agendas: the iron-blooded eldest son ignores the life and death of soldiers, the elegant second son controls the court in a wheelchair, the sinister third son feeds ruthless officials, the dandy fourth son controls the underground kingdom, and the cold-faced fifth son takes charge of the Xuanjing Division...
When the new king of the northern barbarians came to the throne, the betrothed Princess Zhaoming, Shen Zhao, bared her fangs and moved towards the remnants in front of the Shiwan Mountain.

Shen Xiong caressed the old armor of his adopted brother Chang Zhu, but he didn't know that this "Zhu Shi" had a poisonous plan to subvert the dynasty in his heart.
A storm is sweeping the world, quietly brewing amid the suspicion between father and son, and the feud between brothers.
