In his previous life, he was Yunlan Jun, the orphan of the hidden prince who was framed and poisoned but was extremely talented and beautiful. She was Shangguan Cheng Xi, an orphaned general who was betrayed by her family and stabbed by thousands of arrows. Both of them died with hatred, and their souls wandered in the endless war-torn Shuanghua Continent.
When he opened his eyes again, time went back to the seventeenth year of peace in Tiansha Kingdom. Yun Lanjun was reborn as the down-and-out companion of the Seventh Prince of the Cold Palace, while Shangguan Cheng Xi returned to the beginning of the nightmare where his father and brother were killed in battle and the family was in conflict. In this life, he is no longer alone in plotting, and she is no longer a pawn at the mercy of others. The first time they looked at each other in the depths of the palace, the vicissitudes and hatred that transcended age in each other's eyes made the two people instantly confirm the other's "abnormality".
Relying on his insight into the general trend of the world and the secrets of the court in his previous life, and using his unparalleled ingenuity as an edge, Yun Lanjun began to weave a huge network from the palace to the frontier. He assists the seemingly cowardly seventh prince, but in fact he molds him into his ideal puppet of a "wise king", step by step overthrowing the prime minister Qin Wuya and his party members who control the government and are collaborators with the enemy and the country. Shangguan Cheng Xi used the rebirth prophet to not only save his father and brother who were about to die, but also secretly took charge of the family's secret guard as a woman, established an intelligence network in the rivers, lakes and battlefields, and became Yunlan Jun's sharpest knife in the darkness.
Their core goal is clear and arduous: within three years, they must clear away the decadent sectarian forces within the Tiansha Kingdom, implement a new policy to strengthen the country, and integrate national power to deal with the deadly threats from the Western Witchcraft and Vulcan Kingdoms. However, every step was on thin ice. The old aristocracy counterattacked fiercely, and external spies penetrated everywhere. The growth of their chosen monarch, the seventh prince, was also accompanied by the expansion of suspicion and desire for power.
