Sixteen years ago, the illustrious Prince Liang’s estate was drenched in blood overnight, and the entire household was executed.
An imperial decree accused the Liang family of treason, condemning them to an eternal stain on their name. But who knew what filthy conspiracies lay hidden behind a treason case the entire empire had already judged?
The Liang family’s sole surviving heir, Fan Jiangyue, escaped death and lived under an assumed name for sixteen years, lying low in Yandu as she patiently investigated night after night. But every piece of evidence from that time had vanished, and everyone who knew the truth had died one after another. Beneath layer upon layer of deadly traps, who had buried the blood-soaked truth so deeply?
Shen Qingming, Prince of Yong'an, returned to the capital in triumph after crushing the Southern Barbarians, his military exploits shaking the world and a vast army under his command.
The two joined forces, following clues from the secret trafficking of military weapons in the capital and a shocking corruption scandal in Jiangnan to dig deeper and break the deadlock. As the layers of fog lifted, one bizarre event after another came to light.
A shocking game spanning twenty years suddenly emerged into view!
A palace coup swept through the court, traitors seized power and plunged the government into chaos, and enemy forces advanced to the gates. The nation teetered on the brink of collapse.
Faced with desperate odds, Fan Jiangyue and Shen Qingming reorganized their troops and fought again, turning the tide and breaking through the deadlock.
With broken bodies, they sought justice for a sea of blood and vengeance; with iron cavalry, they defended the empire’s vast lands!
Beneath the splendor of a golden age, human hearts conceal countless schemes. Who will ultimately win this conspiracy that has lasted twenty years?
