Xiao Jinghuan, the Minister of Punishment of the New Dynasty, was ordered to track down the remnants of the previous dynasty. While investigating a bizarre murder case, he met Ming Furong, the daughter of the richest man in Qingzhou. The two knew each other because of a case and had a dangerous relationship, but they didn't know that their identities were destined to be at odds with each other - she was the young master of the secret guard of the former dynasty, carrying the secret of Huo Lotus; he was a powerful official of the new dynasty, and the "rebel" she was pursuing was the orphan of the motherland she was sworn to protect. When the conspiracy was revealed, the jade bracelet on her wrist shattered to reveal the emblem of the previous dynasty, and the blade in his hand was stained with the blood of his lover, only to find that fate had already been woven into a deadlock: the fire hibiscus saved people's lives but also devoured the owner's life, the former mentor turned out to be the enemy who destroyed the country, and the most deadly secret was hidden in the baby swapping plan twenty years ago... The conspiracy and love and hatred burned to ashes, and only the incense of hibiscus dispersed into ashes.
