In the autumn of the thirty-seventh year of Yongding, Prince Xiao Che was framed by his brother Yong Wang Xiao Jinggou for regicide. His father died under mysterious circumstances, the East Palace was confiscated, and he was forced to flee the world. In a desperate situation, he uncovered the darkest secrets of the royal family - the allegiance to the Dark Feather Organization, the remaining words in his father's blood letter, and the ironclad evidence that Xiao Jing had liaison with foreign enemies, pushing him to the center of the whirlpool of power.
When the mask of the "Benevolent Prince" shattered, Xiao Che took up the blade of revenge, mobilized the dead with half a tiger talisman, used power as a chess piece, and started a life-and-death game with his brothers, powerful ministers, and Jianghu forces. Escape from the swamp, Dark Feather's betrayal, Beidi Wolf's ambition... He works step by step, not only to clear his grievances, but also to uncover the bloody truth behind the emperor's power.
This is a huge gamble on the fate of the country, and it is also a legend of a lone brave man who "killed the king against the scales".
