Ten years ago, a fire burned away all the loyal members of the Shen family, leaving only one person who was accused of being a traitor. Ten years later, the orphan of the Shen family, aliased as "Su Xingzhou", returned to the imperial capital Jinling in a frail body, vowing to clear his father and brother's grievances.
However, as he worked step by step to defeat his enemies one by one, he discovered that the truth of the tragedy was far more unfathomable than he imagined - the real man behind the scenes was not any powerful official in the court, but the seemingly dim and incompetent emperor himself who was sitting on the dragon throne. What shocked Su Xingzhou even more was that his father had already discovered the secret of the emperor's collaboration with the enemy and his country. In order to preserve the last spark of loyalty, he personally laid a mess that would last for twenty years.
Now, the endgame is in Su Xingzhou's hands. What he had to face was not only the overt and covert attacks of the civil and military dynasties, but also the crumbling foundation of the entire empire. When justice and loyalty cannot be reconciled, when revenge runs counter to the common people, how should this endgame end?
