Pei Zhan, the new number one scholar, comes from a humble family. His "Ten Strategies for Pingrong" in the imperial examination shocked both the government and the public, but also angered the powerful regent Wei Liao. With a transfer order, he was demoted from the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty to the front of the Bitter Northern Border Army. After three years of bloodshed, Pei Zhan transformed from a frail scholar into an iron-clad general, and returned to the imperial capital with the hardships of the frontier and unknown secrets.
Above the court, the two met again - one was a young general who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the other was a cold-blooded king who had controlled the world for more than ten years. From mutual suspicion, testing, and exploitation, to being forced to join hands in life-and-death crises, power struggles are intertwined with secret desires.
When the dusty old case was revealed, Pei Zhan discovered that his life experience and Wei Liao's past were actually involved in a blood feud... Should they fight each other with swords, or should they fight together to conquer the mountains and rivers? Between the supreme authority and the deepest bond, they will eventually make a choice
Purpose: In the whirlpool of power and conspiracy, explore the boundaries of loyalty and personal affection, show the persistence and growth of individuals in the tide of the times, and finally reach a deep understanding and symbiosis that transcends hatred and desire.
