In the last years of the Dajing Dynasty, the north wind swept over the earth and it was extremely cold in Youzhou. Liu Hao, the Marquis of Zhenbei, guarded the frontier and was loyal. His adopted son Xiao Jue was brave and good at fighting, his concubine Liu Yunyin endured and lay dormant, and his daughter Liu Yan had excellent swordsmanship. A sudden Qiu Shou shock occurred, the emperor star fell, the power of the court fell into the hands of traitors, Liu Hao died generously, and the East Market was stained with blood. The secrets of the tower that a child accidentally discovered, the bizarre marriage contract of the orphan girl from Jiaohai, and the shocking conspiracy hidden in the suicide note of an old case are intertwined into a huge web that covers the world. The northern border is deserted, Xiao Jue vows to fight against the rebellion; the deep palace grudges, Liu Ying endures the humiliation; the smoke outside the Great Wall, the mysterious ghost knight sweeps in; on the fire altar, the appearance of the Dragon Mother stirs up the storm. From the undercurrent of Luoyang Huashen, to the iron-blooded defense of Zhenbeiguan, to the turbulent chess game in the world, a group of people with family and country in their hearts and obsessions wrote a tragic epic of loyalty and betrayal, protection and plunder, rise and fall in the catastrophe of the Dragon Cauldron changing hands.
