In the sixth year of Yongye, Jin Yiwei Qianhu Lu Wei was the sharpest sword in the empire. He was cold and efficient, with his hands stained with blood, until he was assigned to perform the ultimate undercover mission - to transform into the ruthless "Gu Han" and infiltrate the Tianluo Sect, which was an enemy of the imperial court.
Relying on wisdom, courage and ruthlessness, he worked step by step and passed the test of blood and fire. He was ordered to hunt down his former colleagues in order to "submit his name" and drank poisonous wine to prove his "loyalty". Finally, he gained the trust of the demon sect and was awarded the title of "Master Yama". He also won a moment of tenderness under the cold eyes of the saint Jiang Xue.
However, he witnessed with his own eyes the imperial court massacring innocent people in the name of "justice", while the Demonic Cult protected the refugees in troubled times. The benefactor and the adoptive father turned out to be mortal enemies, and loyalty and morality collapsed. When Jiang Xue, who had made an oath to him, trusted him unreservedly, and when the adopted orphan regarded him as someone to rely on, the "killing order" from the court became a sharp knife piercing his heart.
Should he return to being Lu Wei, a royal guard, and step on the corpse of his beloved to be promoted to a noble rank? Or will he become Gu Han of the Demon Cult, bear the name of treason and become the enemy of the whole world?
"Tell me," he held her hand, pointing the blade at the dynasty he once served, "are you willing to walk with me on this road?"
