Shen Qinghan, a peerlessly beautiful and aloof sword immortal, withdrew to the mountains to cultivate, his heart free of worldly concerns. He had long since given his heart to someone, and his days were peaceful.
One day, an emperor secretly ventured into the mountains. At a distance, he glimpsed the sword immortal playing with his blade beneath the moon, and fell in love at first sight, becoming consumed by obsession.
The sovereign, ruler of all under Heaven, was domineering and possessive, unable to suppress his desire. He mobilized the imperial army and marched on the sword immortal’s sect, threatening the lives of everyone there as he tightened the noose, demanding that they hand Shen Qinghan over.
Shen Qinghan already had a beloved confidant, and their love ran deep. He would rather die than submit to the emperor’s power.
But with his sect’s fate hanging by a thread, he had no choice. The emperor drugged him by force, abducted him, and imprisoned him deep within the palace walls.
The pressure of imperial power overwhelmed his cold, sharp blade, and the emperor’s possessiveness trapped his proud, pure heart.
The domineering emperor made the empire a prison and obsession his chains, seizing him, keeping him against his will, and confining him by force.
The man who had once been a guest of moonlight and mountain breezes became the emperor’s cherished captive, cut off from his former love and severed from his past.
One, a cold and lonely sword. The other, absolute power.
A tale of taking by force, forced entanglement, love and hate tearing them apart, and a gradual descent into ruin.
The sword immortal’s proud spirit remained unbroken, while the emperor’s obsession knew no end.
This possessive abduction began with a fleeting glimpse in the mountains,
and became a love-hate struggle in the palace prison, one that would end only in death.
