“I never meant to stain the vermilion walls, but they imprisoned me within them and forced me to raise my sword against the court.”
An ordinary piece of green jade bought from a street stall binds two different eras together.
When the jade resonates with his energy, the soul of ordinary young man Lin Qingxuan is pulled back a thousand years. He opens his eyes among the corpses of assassins, having become Murong Yexiao, the sixth prince of the current dynasty, a ruthless, bloodthirsty man.
They strike a deal: Lin Qingxuan will impersonate Murong Yexiao and survive in the perilous imperial palace. Once Murong Yexiao's soul has recovered, he will send Lin Qingxuan home.
Forced to don a prince's finery, Lin Qingxuan steps into the treacherous game of courtly power. He must imitate Murong Yexiao's sharp, hawk-like gaze, grow accustomed to the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and learn to spot schemes and poison amid casual conversation.
But the glittering imperial palace is a cage, and everywhere he looks are people who know the real “Murong Yexiao”: his volatile master, whose martial arts are unfathomable; the young, warm-hearted Director of the Imperial Observatory, always smiling; and his half-brother, an unusually friendly prince...
How can he keep his secret while surrounded by wolves?
