In the Zhongping era, the glorious four-hundred-year foundation of the Han dynasty teeters on the brink of collapse. Yun Bian, a young man from Longxi, carries the loyal spirit of his fallen family and an ideal out of step with the times: to restore the Han. He resolutely joins the mysterious local power known as Chang'an Night.
He thinks he has found a sharp sword to strike at this chaotic age, unaware that he has stepped into a game of power. Here, loyalty and betrayal are two sides of the same coin. Behind the smiles of sworn brothers may lurk deadly ambition.
From the endless sands of Longxi to the shattered walls of Luoyang, Yun Bian wields his spear and fights for the Han banners in his heart. But after enduring blood and fire, when he finally reaches the heart of Chang'an Night's power, a truth that could shatter his faith comes crashing into the open...
Where does this bloodstained road to an ideal lead: to the dawn of restoration, or to utter ruin?
