On the night Ying Zheng unifies the Six Kingdoms, he unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a young emperor of Great Yong, a realm torn apart by war.
Power-hungry ministers dominate the court, undercurrents roil through the martial world, and the most terrifying assassin organization in the land, the Xuanhe Pavilion, holds the power to overthrow the dynasty.
He meets two people:
One is Shen Hanzhou, silent as a ghost, who has borne the world’s suffering for far too long.
The other is Xiao Yehe, blazing mad with a desire to defy heaven and change his fate.
One emperor. Two assassins.
Born enemies, they become brothers.
Imperial power, the martial world, curses, destiny, loyalty, betrayal...
The three use the realm as a chessboard and Xuanhe as their blade,
carving a path through the dark torrent, one that kneels to neither heaven nor earth and bows to no fate.
Above Xuanhe, there is no distinction between good and evil.
One imperial command, and the whole realm trembles.
They will be neither heroes nor demons.
They will be masters of their own fate.
