In the last years of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the struggle for the right to inherit the throne intensified. The fourth elder brother, Yongzheng, was at the center of the whirlpool. Outside, there were the overt and covert attacks of the Eighth Ye Party and the Fourteenth Party, and there were the treacherous actions of the courtiers inside. He seemed to be isolated and helpless, but in fact, the chess game had already been secretly laid out.
In order to overcome the predicament, he secretly made friends with all kinds of heroes: hermits with unparalleled martial arts skills, counselors who were proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and loyal green forest heroes. Either to repay kindness or to uphold justice, these people vowed to help him break out of the tight siege. Above the court, he endured and lurked, working step by step; in the arena, he used the name of chivalry to gather forces and resolve fatal crises one after another - including poisonous schemes and traps set by his brothers, the bloody storm caused by the Jianghu sect's fight for the right to inherit the throne, and the multi-party competition for the secret treasure passed down to the country.
On the one hand, Yinzhen has to deal with the intrigues in the court, and on the other hand, he has to balance the grievances and hatreds in the world, struggling repeatedly between hegemony and friendship. He once gave up his selfish thoughts for the sake of the overall situation, fought for Qixia against powerful enemies, and maintained the clarity of his heart amidst the bloody storm. When the sword points directly at the throne, when grudges and imperial power collide, can this elder brother who has endured for many years counterattack and ascend to the throne with the help of Qixia? After ascending to the throne of God, how will he balance the friendship between Jianghu and the imperial power?
