In the last years of Daliang, war broke out all over the world, the royal family declined, and powerful ministers were in power. As a descendant of the previous dynasty, Lu Zhaoyuan was forced into a desperate situation and worshiped heaven on a snowy night and proclaimed himself emperor. However, the moment the imperial edict was issued, he tore up the absurd edict in public. He does not ask for destiny, only for human life. Xiao Jihe, who walks alone with a sword, was once the head of the royal family's secret guards, and was ordered to kill the "false emperor". However, during the bloody battle, he discovered that what Lu Zhaoyuan was holding was the dragon-patterned jade that his brother had entrusted to him before his death. The two went from fighting life and death to tearing apart the chess game of troubled times side by side. A piece of imperial edict, a betrayal, and a bloody road that changed fate against the will of heaven can only be written by their own hands from now on.
