Synopsis

[Ensemble cast, tragedy of family and country | light on political intrigue | ancient xianxia world, no polygamy] When he finished speaking, he fell straight to his knees on the cold ground and gazed at her in anguish. "It was me. I personally pushed the Si family into the abyss and indirectly caused your brother's death. My crimes are beyond redemption. I have no excuse." "Lingyi, kill me!" "Why!" Si Yao Lingyi finally broke down, screaming as tears poured from her eyes. "Your families' blood feud! What does it have to do with my Si family? Generation after generation, my family has guarded the frontier, served the emperor, and protected our country. We have never harmed anyone! Why should innocent people pay with their lives for your feud? You, all of you, killed my brother!" Her hatred was boundless, her grief cut to the bone... One sword pierced his heart... "Fragrance Amid Embers" 🎋 Its glory was born from ashes, and to ashes it shall return. The male lead's name contains the character for "embers." From the day he was born, he bore the burden of a curse and a life of killing. The only "fragrance and glory" in his heart was Si Yao Lingyi. ❤️ "Fragrance and glory" refers not only to the leads, but to all living beings...
