Xie Linyuan (pseudonym Su Yanchen) was burdened with a family full of blood feuds. He used himself as a chess piece to hide under the enemy's subordinates. He avenged the blood feud with his unique wisdom and helped the lonely young prince Xiao Jue to ascend the throne of Dajing. He was the only light in Xiao Jue's dark night. In order to ensure the stability of Xiao Jue's imperial power, after the palace affairs were settled, he faked his sudden death from cold syndrome and escaped quietly.
On his way home, he was ambushed and fell into the abyss. He was seriously injured and lost his memory. He was rescued by Murong Heng, the prince of Beishuo, who mistook him for an orphan from his mother's clan and gave him the name Shen Han. He helped Murong Heng quell the civil strife and ascend to the throne with his uncanny wisdom. He wore a half-faced white jade mask to cover up the past, and became the most mysterious empress in Beishuo. Murong Heng's protection was the only warmth in his years of amnesia.
In the Dajing Palace, Xiao Jue had been on the throne for three years. He never believed that he had passed away and devoted all his efforts to searching the mountains and rivers. The wind and sand filled the sky in front of Yanmen Pass. With just his back and old habits, he recognized the gentleman he thought about day and night - who had become the emperor and empress of the enemy country.
The war between the two countries was raging, and under the clash of imperial powers, there was an ultimate struggle between the two emperors: Xiao Jue held a sword to defeat Beishuo, and was determined to regain his beloved; Murong Heng used the country as a shield and vowed to protect the emperor to the death. The mask fell and memories surged. Xie Linyuan remembered all the past. On one side was Xiao Jue's bone-deep obsession, and on the other side was the tenderness of Murong Heng's companionship day and night. He was finally drawn into the whirlpool of fate and faced the two inevitable feelings of love.
Purpose: With the confrontation between the two countries as the background, it focuses on the fateful bond between the emperor's master Xie Linyuan and the emperor Xiao Jue, and the Beishuo monarch Murong Heng. The core expression is the three main themes of "redemption and perseverance in desperate situations", "affection has nothing to do with identity and national boundaries", and "the responsibility and original intention behind the choice". It not only shows the struggle of human nature under the power game, but also praises the pure love that transcends hatred and imperial power, and ultimately conveys the emotional core of "Where the heart is, it is where it belongs."
