In the seventeenth year of Emperor Qianyuan of the Great Chu Dynasty, there was a severe drought in the north, the land was bare for thousands of miles, and the refugees fled south. During the court, King Zhao and the prince were competing for the crown prince. Shen Yan, the Minister of Household Affairs, found out that King Zhao had embezzled food funds for disaster relief, but was falsely accused of treason. The entire Shen family was executed, but Shen Qingci escaped with a bloody account. Wuhenlou was hired by King Zhao and sent the chief killer Ye Xiao to kill him.
Unexpectedly, the cold-blooded killer recognized Shen Qingci as his childhood savior. Instead of killing him, he doted on the down-and-out young man while he was on the run.
