In the Dayin Dynasty, the imperial power fell to the side, the vassal kings were divided, and the undercurrent was surging. Prince Renxu was originally recognized as the crown prince by both the government and the public, but because his mother and concubine died young and he had no relatives to protect him, he became a pawn in the game between various forces. During a tour to the south to worship his ancestors, he was kidnapped by mysterious forces and became a prisoner. The once golden prince fell into the quagmire overnight.
In a desperate situation, Renxu shed his ostentatious life, awakened the bloodline of the ancient dragon clan hidden in his body, and unexpectedly obtained the long-lost "Hidden Dragon Technique". He pretended to be forbearing and practiced secretly. While dealing with the brutal kidnappers, he explored the shocking conspiracy behind the kidnapping. This was not only the vassal king's step-by-step push to seize power, but also a deadly plan for alien forces to infiltrate the dynasty.
From the cage to the battlefield, from being alone to gathering talented people, Renxu used blood as ink, life as chess, and grew up in the light of swords and shadows. He made friends with the knights of the world, subdued the hidden sect, dismantled the traitors in the court, and made a comeback against the odds in a desperate situation. When the truth is revealed layer by layer, he not only has to face the betrayal of brothers turning against each other and the alienation of monarchs and ministers, but he also has to resist the crisis of alien invasion and chaos in the world. In the end, the troubled prince who was kidnapped will reach the top with his sword, conquer the world, create his own prosperous dynasty, and achieve a legend of "hiding a dragon out of the abyss and becoming emperor against fate".
