The general of Zhenbei, Wen Xin, returns triumphantly, but is involved in the whirlpool of intrigues in the court, and develops a secret love for him during the confrontation with the ambitious prince Wen Yu. However, the shocking secret of Wen Yu's life experience - the taboo of Beirong's bloodline, caused the two to fall into a double struggle between ethics and emotions.
Struggles in the harem, factional strife in the court, and spying by Beirong followed one after another. An accident designed by an aphrodisiac completely broke the balance between the two. Wen Xin faked her death while pregnant and escaped from the world, living in seclusion in a small town for five years. However, due to an assassination, she reunited with Wen Yu, who had ascended to the throne.
When the heart-corrosive poison and the love of flesh and blood reunite the two, the old barriers are lifted in the test of life and death. The Beirong invasion and the rebellion of the previous dynasty were ignited. Wen Xin returned in armor and fought side by side with Wen Yu.
In the abyss of power, they broke through the shackles of the world and witnessed each other's souls in the tempering of blood and fire. In the end, the phoenix crown was crowned, and the dragon robe accompanied them, and on top of the ashes, a legend that transcended taboos was built together.
