The Great Sheng Dynasty is in its twilight years, and the currents of political intrigue have long since swallowed up the last vestiges of its golden age.
He is Li Que, the cold-faced regent who holds power over the entire court. The world fears his ruthless methods, but no one knows that night after night he is tormented by the same "dream." In it, he pushes a woman into a sea of fire with his own hands, and brings the entire dynasty to ruin.
She is A Zhao (Qin Zhao), an orphan of mysterious origins. She believes she is nothing but a speck of dust in a chaotic age, unaware that she is the sole surviving descendant of the Zhao clan, massacred twenty years ago.
A "dream" lets Li Que glimpse the future and drives him to madness as he tries to change the ending. He keeps A Zhao confined at his side, thinking it is control, when it is really salvation.
Until a mysterious woman in white appears, rescues A Zhao, and reveals the bloodstained truth buried for years:
"Li Que, one day I'll make you repay everything you owe me, down to the last coin, with interest!"
As the "dream" gradually becomes reality, as yesterday's "enemy" becomes the only salvation, and as the secrets of a hidden identity are revealed.
In this game of power, intrigue, and revenge, who is the player moving the pieces? And who is the most crucial pawn to be sacrificed?
Watch how Regent Li Que, amid the turmoil of a crumbling age, contends with fate and joins forces with his enemies, ultimately claiming the supreme throne of the Great Sheng Dynasty!
