The moment the dragon pattern jade broke, the threads of fate were already entangled and misaligned.
Su Yan, the waiter at Henan Yi Fengyu Tea House, has a half-broken piece of jade in his neck that hides his forgotten life experience - he was originally the eldest son of Ling Zhao, the minister of the Ministry of War in Kyoto, and his wife Shen Ruoyan, who had been separated for ten years. Mo Wuchang, a martial arts fanatic, took a fancy to his martial arts skills and used seeking relatives as a bait to force him to practice Shaolin internal skills and imprisoned him in the Songshan Grottoes.
At the same time, the second son Ling Heng, who was pampered in the palace but was frail and sick, never gave up looking for his brother. In the chaos of Qilin Camp's raid on the grotto, two brothers with identical looks lost their footing in a mountain stream and woke up with their identities swapped.
Su Yan moved into the palace of the Minister with carved beams and painted buildings, and the zhenqi flowing in his body made him obsessed, and his past memories were shattered into powder. Ling Heng, who was a "teahouse waiter", was discovered by Mo Wuchang that he was not a martial arts material. He was brutally beaten and disabled, and was discarded in a mass grave.
When the amnesiac Su Yan screamed "I am not your son" at the bronze mirror, when the lame Ling Heng heard a familiar cough coming from the house on a snowy night, two broken jade pieces reunited in the stream. The elder brother who has lost all his martial arts skills and the crippled younger brother will eventually piece together the truth buried in the flames of war between intrigues and rivers and lakes.
