After a great victory in the Battle of Liaojiang, Yuan Moxiao, the once brilliant young general, was branded unfit for service overnight.
An imperial edict summoned him back to the capital of Jiangning, burdened with a reputation stained by countless accusations.
The world lamented the fall of a genius, unaware that all the absurdity was merely a trap laid amid power struggles at court.
Everyone saw Yuan Moxiao as a source of trouble and kept their distance. Only Li Beixuan insisted on drawing closer to him.
Yuan Moxiao: I've fallen this far, and Your Highness still won't leave me alone?
Li Beixuan: This is only the beginning.
