The blood flows through the long night, and the loyal bones are buried in the deserted road. The famous general Chunyu was framed and exiled, but his entire family was massacred on the way. In the raging flames, his elder brother Chunyu closed the city and hid his younger brother Fengming in a dry well, but he was kidnapped and fell into the abyss.
Many years later, a new star in the court is rising. The younger brother Chunyu Fengming occupies a high position. Under his gentle and jade-like appearance, he is obsessed with overturning the case that burns day and night. He peeled off cocoons in the fog of the court, looking for clues behind the family's destruction.
What he didn't know was that the knife closest to the truth came from the depths of the shadows. His elder brother Chunyu Fengcheng was forced to become the sharp blade of a top killer organization. He walked among corrupt officials under the name of "Nine-Life Cat". He kills people with precision, and always has a flame of revenge for his family burning in his heart, but he is constantly struggling with blood and sin: when an upright man is forced to become the knife of evil, can he see the light of day again?
Destiny brings the twins together again at the crossroads of intrigue and blade. One is in the light, the other is in the dark; one uses law as a sword, and the other uses killing as an edge. When the brothers join forces, the dusty murder case gradually becomes intertwined with the mystery of the current dynasty, eventually pointing to the supreme figure who holds all the power in the government. However, the road to Qingming is destined to be paved with blood, and Fengcheng ultimately sacrifices his life, opening the last curtain of darkness for his brother... The night will be bright, but some people will never see the dawn again.
