A century ago, during the turbulent Republic of China era, the country was in chaos, foreign enemies invaded, and the nation teetered on the brink.
Beneath the surface, old family rivalries simmered, while a ruthless conspiracy lay buried among the secrets of the era.
One hundred and eighty years later, as the old families' legacies pass from one generation to the next, Ning Anran, the young master of the Ning family, is sent by his parents to clean the old family home over summer vacation because of his love of antiques.

When the truth, sealed away for many years, is finally pieced together in full, Guan Jin is freed from his bonds and can wander wherever he pleases...
