Xie Lin was originally a modern historian. He once transformed into the deposed Lenggong prince of the Yin Dynasty. He held in his hand a life-threatening edict engraved with a blood curse - anyone who reads this edict will die within seven days, and the royal family can punish him. He didn't believe in fate, so he insisted on reading it, but on the seventh day he was shocked to realize that every word in the edict was actually transformed from the unfinished historical manuscript he had written in his previous life. The only person who can break the curse is Cen Zhao, who was dismissed as a "sycophant" by his history books - the chief minister of the dynasty, who was secretive and had a knife hidden in his smile. When Xie Lin's madness shakes the country, Cen Zhao's gentleness becomes his only salvation. Amid blood edicts and power schemes, the two perform a fateful dance to overthrow the dynasty.
