Overhead, martial arts flourished, sects and courts surged, and the three major academies controlled the world's elite.
Shen Qingshuang, the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, was a good-for-nothing who squeezed into Fengming Academy through connections. She was incompetent in literature and martial arts, and was lazy and undisciplined all day long. She was the laughing stock of the entire academy. No one knows that this seemingly useless girl is actually the mysterious frost master of Tinglan Pavilion, the No. 1 Intelligence organization in the world. Under the dark night, she turns her hands into clouds and rain. She holds secrets from the world and controls the invisible chess game between the world and the court.
Gu Changyuan, a court inspector who is as gentle as jade, was ordered to settle in Fengming Academy to investigate hidden dangers. He has extraordinary swordsmanship and an unpredictable mind. He seems to be a civil servant who abides by the rules, but in fact he is the commander of the emperor's personal shadow guard. He also hides the blood feud of the former dynasty's remnant, and he works every step of the way, just to find out the truth.
During a turmoil in the academy, the two went head-to-head, with constant trials and confrontations. He saw through the edge beneath her disguise, and she understood the obsession behind his forbearance. The good-for-nothing counterattack slaps everyone in the face, and the double-faced life amazes the world. When the conspiracy gradually becomes apparent, the third prince conspires, the court is in turmoil, and the world is catastrophic. The two people who used to be tit-for-tat put aside their suspicions and joined hands.
She gave up her disguise and commanded the world as the Frost Lord. He gave up his obsession and protected her with his martial arts. From being wary of each other to relying on each other in life and death, from personal grievances to family and country, let's see Shen Qingshuang and Gu Changyuan guarding the mountains and rivers together in the troubled times, holding hands to achieve a prosperous and stable life.
