After returning from rebirth, Xiao Chen is an orphan in the north and the much-scorned son-in-law of the Anyuan Hou Mansion. On the surface, he is taciturn and is regarded as a martial arts loser, but on the inside, he is a reincarnation of a system and well versed in maneuvers. He secretly makes plans in the dark, vowing to take revenge and uncover the mystery of his past life.
His wife Lin Qingxuan, a daughter of the Hou family, was forced to marry her at first, and she was cold and distant. However, they became secretly in love amidst the turmoil, and together they experienced the calamity of "chasing his wife for cremation". Above the court, the prime minister Qin Yuan, who has risen from a poor family, is scheming and has hidden intentions of rebellion; the eldest princess Chu Yuehuang is cold and noble, and is in charge of the palace affairs. There is also the mysterious warlock Mo Chen to spy on the secrets of heaven, and the old soldier Han Lie is dedicated to pursuing the truth.
Xiao Chen circled between the inner house, the court and the world, and under the guidance of the system's tasks, he embarked on a journey from son-in-law to emperor. Gratitudes and grudges are intertwined, power schemes are strife, and a storm that sweeps across the dynasty and the alien continent arises because of him.
