[Wise and brave, careerist heroine × young and affectionate general hero × beautiful, strong, pale and black male protagonist] In the last years of the Ning Dynasty, wars broke out, the Qiang Rong's iron hoofs trampled through the borders, the courts were as corrupt as rotten wood, and the world was in chaos.
General Qi Jingyuan of Dingyuan died unjustly, and his only son Qi Xu was burdened with a blood feud. He was angry and led his troops to stand on his own, and set up a banner to resist the enemy in troubled times. He valued love and justice, was generous and sharp, and vowed to clear his parents' wrongs and protect the people of his country.
Princess Ning Xi, Ye Linghua, is warm on the outside and cold on the inside. Her mother's family has lost power and is dependent on others, which makes her hide her ambitions. She is capable of plotting against the court, and is capable of fighting in armor, just to regain everything in the treacherous power struggle.
Jiang Jingchao, the son of a prostitute, is extremely talented but comes from a humble background. He studied hard and sharpened his sword in the battlefield, but in exchange for it, he suffered a bumpy career and the death of his loved ones. His sincerity was turned into a black blade by the world, and he struggled on the edge of good and evil.
Three lonely fates intersect in troubled times. They were sworn friends to Jinlan, and they had pledged their family and country with their blood, but in the end they could not withstand the strife in the court and the unpredictability of people's hearts. During the game of power, former friendships were shattered, and former allies became strangers and enemies.
Do you stick to morality, or indulge in lust for power? Should we join hands to fight against the enemy, or should we fight separately? The Ning Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and the three people's choices will eventually write a tragedy about loyalty, betrayal and redemption in troubled times.
