The world is divided into three parts: Yungui's power is declining, internal and external troubles occur, and the imperial power is on the sidelines; Ning'an is strong and ambitious, and wants to annex other countries. In troubled times, the imperial power, power, love, hate, and family and country are all trapped in a chess game.
In troubled times, no one can survive alone:
• Some people defend their homeland and die for the country, leaving eternal regrets;
• Some people keep their sincerity, but pay it to others wrongly, and end up becoming puppets;
• Some people defend their hegemony, abandon their warmth, and reach the top of the 9th Five-Year Plan;
• Some people stick to their obsession and remain unmarried for the rest of their lives.
Love, hate, power, family and country, and fate are intertwined. In the end, the emperor dies for his country, the chivalrous girl is orphaned, the delicate flowers wither, and the empress dominates. It describes the involuntary sadness and choices in troubled times.
