Helian Jinchuan, crown prince of the previous dynasty, hides his identity and becomes the chivalrous thief “Jinghong,” biding his time amid the ruins of blood and fire as he waits for a chance to restore his kingdom. Xi Jianwei, daughter of the current dynasty’s Commander of the Imperial Guard, is bright and headstrong. A thrilling manhunt leads her to discover Jinghong’s true identity and plunges her into a desperate predicament: a suspected regicide and a father thrown into prison. On the edge of an abyss of blood feuds and conspiracy, the two, separated by an unbridgeable gulf of status, find their feelings spreading like wildfire through repeated life-and-death clashes and desperate acts of protection.
The mystery of the testament, the struggle for the throne, loyalists of the former dynasty, and power struggles in the present day. Xi Jianwei is torn between her father’s wishes, imperial authority, and love, while Helian Jinchuan is tormented between the cause of restoring his kingdom and the woman he cherishes. When Jinghong’s flames light up the blood-red dynasty, will they join hands to break free of their shackles, or will they love and destroy each other until death? A choice in the snowy night, a fox-fur coat for armor: every step is a dance on the edge of a blade, and every moment of closeness could plunge them into an abyss of no return. On the night the truth is reduced to ashes, who will see where Jinghong ends up?
