In the spring of the fourth year of Yongxi, Bai Feng, the god of war in the north, returned in triumph, but was dragged into a blasphemous heirloom conspiracy by the young and sick emperor Shen Hong, who used the country as bait and the family as a threat.
Bai Feng hated his methods, and even more hated himself for sinking into humiliation. Shen Hong regrets his decision, but has no way out.
Since then, the sharp blade hidden under the dragon robe and the perverse desires under the loyalty have been entangled day and night within the high walls of the deep palace.
He is the hidden danger of powerful ministers that he must eradicate, and he is also the only ally he can entrust to his weakest position; he is the most stable cornerstone of his country, and the heaviest shackles of his soul.
When conspiracies are pouring in from all directions, this abnormal relationship that started as a transaction will eventually reach an unpredictable ending in the tempering of blood, fire and intrigue.
