Ji Fuyao, who ascended the throne at the age of 18, is regarded by the world as a cold-blooded Empress Fuyao - she can quell civil strife with a sword and stick to her will. However, when she was coughing up blood while reviewing memorials late at night, she became red-eyed at the old sword left by her mother. The clan forced her to marry in exchange for peace, and the court officials urged her to establish a throne to consolidate the country's foundation, but who ever asked her: "What does Ji Fuyao want to do?"
Until she grabbed the clue of her mother's "Qingxuan Peak's search for a master", disguised herself and escaped from the palace, and bumped into the green-robed hermit feeding a lame little fox on the mist-shrouded peak. He said, "When you enter my sect, you forget your identity as an empress." However, when she learned to wield a sword and fell into the quagmire, he handed her a warm handkerchief; when she dreamed of her mother's tragic death, he silently lit the evergreen lamp outside the bamboo house; when she was slandered as a "disaster star" and was about to be sacrificed, he did not hesitate to break the seal and protect her at the cost of covering her chest with black streaks.
She once thought that the country was a shackle, but she understood by his side: true freedom is never about escaping, but about daring to show weakness, daring to rely, and daring to find a balance between power and self. The cracks in the sky pushed her to the fate of "sacrifice". Shen Qingxuan held her hand and said, "I will accompany you to defend the country you want to protect; I will help you tear down the prison you want to escape from."
This is a story about an empress taking off her armor to find herself, and also about the secret protection of a master who is cold on the outside and warm on the inside - from the daily life of master and apprentice at Qingxuan Peak, to the side by side breaking up the situation in the court, they have proved with their actions that good love is never "giving up for you", but "if you want to fly, I will hold an umbrella for you and accompany you to see the fireworks and thousands of miles of stars in the world."
