Chen Muye, the king of soldiers in the northern border, was publicly exposed as a "collaborator" by his adoptive father Zhao Chongshan at the celebration banquet. He was accused by many people and his military power was taken away. His fiancée Shen Zhaoning broke off the engagement in tears. With scars all over his body and a cold heart, he disappeared into the wind and snow at the border. Three years later, in Zuiyue Tower in the capital, a lame concubine of the Hou family was drawing a defense plan for the northern border on the table with a tea cup.
