Zhao Huan traveled through time and became the last emperor who was about to ascend the throne. Unexpectedly, he was deposed by the regent Jiang Heng and the Queen Mother on the same day and was thrown into a prison. At the time of desperation, he took out the 108 edicts for annihilation left by Taizu from the secret compartment of his dragon robe - each one was enough to wipe out an aristocratic family. Zhao Huan used the imperial edict to escape and formed an alliance with Jiang Wantang, who was disguised as a playboy. He also attracted the censor Gu Qingci from a poor family, the secret guard Su Tan'er, and Zhou Yuanlang, the son of a revengeful general, and gradually disintegrated Jiang Heng's system of powerful ministers. However, a mysterious edict that contradicts the content of the imperial edict surfaced, revealing a deeper conspiracy behind the subversion of imperial power.
