General Qin Ming was loyal and upright, and was involved in it, facing a choice between loyalty and morality. Liu Ruyan, an orphan from the former dynasty, carries a blood feud and lurks in the palace, waiting for opportunities to take revenge. Zhao Wuji, the eunuch in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, wields power over the government and the public, secretly controlling government affairs.
