The late emperor died young, and the succession of the throne suddenly became controversial. King Jing, who was supposed to inherit the throne, suddenly died suddenly, and his younger brother, King Zhao, quickly ascended the throne with iron-blooded tactics. King Zhao has been in power for seven years. His temperament is suspicious and his methods are cruel. Undercurrents are surging in both the government and the public. Old grievances are buried by the powerful, only to be rekindled.
The root of everything began with a secret imperial edict issued by the late emperor before his death seven years ago. The late emperor was well aware of King Zhao's violent behavior, so he succeeded to the throne with the benevolent King Jing, and entrusted the secret edict to his most trusted confidant, Gu Yunzheng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, for safekeeping.
However, the news leaked. In order to seize the throne, King Zhao did not hesitate to kill his brother (Prince Jing), and launched a bloody pursuit of Gu Yunzheng, who held a secret edict. The seriously injured Gu Yunzheng was accidentally rescued by Su Wenxuan, a fifth-grade military general, and hid in the mansion. This move brought disaster to the Su family - King Zhao's minions arrived, and the entire Su family was wiped out together with Gu Yunzheng, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and perished in a sea of fire. They became the silent victims of King Zhao's ascension to the throne.
The two children of the Su family who unexpectedly survived went south to the south of the Yangtze River, and returned to the capital seven years later. In this turbulent capital, they met like-minded friends, and together they overthrew this dark dynasty.
