Feng Qiwu, an orphan from the former dynasty, sneaked into the residence of the powerful Prime Minister Pei Wen in order to investigate the murder case of the "Red Flame Order", but he met the number one suspect - the unfathomable Imperial Master Qin Jue on a narrow road. In order to break the deadlock, she had to work with her ally who held the Dragon Jue to find out the truth.
From being on guard against each other to trusting each other in life and death, the two discovered in the serial murder bureau that the tragedy fifteen years ago actually involved the "Mountain and River Map", a secret treasure of the previous dynasty - this map was not about treasures, but full of shocking evidence that could overturn the government and the opposition. However, the real murderer Feng Qiwu was searching for and the secret Qin Jue swore to protect to the death actually pointed to the same person.
When the "Dragon and Phoenix Contract" jade pendants merge into one, what is covered in dust is not only the secret vault, but also the truth about their blood connection. From the rivers and lakes to the court, from use to deep love, they must make a choice in the bloody puzzle: should they subvert the world for revenge, or should they work together to use evidence of crime as a blade to reshape an innocent world?
Intent: Real strength is not control, but protection: real revenge is not destruction, but reconstruction.
