The Shen family, whose members had served loyally for generations as the empire’s great guardians, had defended the northern frontier for decades. Yet they were framed by treacherous officials and falsely accused of colluding with the enemy and betraying their country. The entire family was sentenced to execution, and only the young brother and sister narrowly escaped. They went into hiding under assumed names, biding their time for years and vowing to clear the Shen family’s name and restore its glory. Along the way, each sibling meets someone special, and they grow and change amid questions of loyalty, family and country, love and hate.
