Jiang Wei was reborn on the night of the Chengdu coup. To save the collapsing Han dynasty, he devised an audacious ruse, pretending to surrender.
He deliberately drew near the formidable Zhong Hui, using his military power to plot the unification of the realm. But through their days and nights together, standing side by side amid the chaos, he fell for Zhong Hui's wholehearted trust and deep affection.
His greater duty and the person he loved were at odds; his original purpose and his growing devotion left him torn. As the realm neared unification and the imperial enterprise stood on the verge of success, Jiang Wei, seeking to restore the Han, personally struck down with his sword the only confidant he would ever have.
In the end, he cleared away the chaos and restored the Han, becoming a celebrated minister who revived the dynasty. Yet when his mission was complete, he abandoned his realm and his fame, taking his own life with a sword and spending the rest of his days in sacrifice to a profound love that began in political scheming and ended in life and death.
