In the middle period of the fictional dynasty "Dayin", the imperial power declined, vassal towns were separated, and conflicts between aristocratic families and poor families intensified. The mysterious cult "Taipingdao" emerged in the southwest border, attracting refugees with the slogan "equal land and free of taxes", secretly accumulating force, and the game between the powerful officials in the capital and the royal family has become intense.
Shen Yan, the son of a commoner family, was demoted to the southwest and accidentally got involved in the conflict between Taiping Dao and the local government. He discovered that there was a conspiracy to subvert the dynasty behind the religious order, and even revealed the secrets of the royal family twenty years ago. He struggled among the three paths of "loyalty", "supporting Taoism" and "self-reliance", and finally revealed the ultimate truth of the power game.
