Eighteen years ago, horrifying rumors spread in the palace. The queen gave birth to a demonic red ghost. The infant prince Nie Zheng was forced to exile outside the palace. A bloody secret was suppressed by the powerful.
Everyone thought that he had disappeared in the countryside long ago, and no one knew that the young man was hiding in hiding, planning step by step. When the time is right, he returns to Beijing, vowing to uncover the blood feud that was buried that year.
In a busy city, he came to rescue him and met Li Shuyu, the daughter of his minister.
Everyone said it was a coincidence, but only Li Shuyu knew that this encounter was a carefully planned meeting.
Unsolved cases occurred repeatedly in the capital, and various forces took turns pulling at each other, and the two were involved in the whirlpool of the court.
Under the deep moonlight, Nie Zheng looked steadily at the woman with a gentle smile in front of him, and said through the disguise:
"You are definitely not just Li Shuyu."
"My name is Xie Yu, the daughter of Marquis Yiyong."
She was responsible for the injustice of the bloodshed incognito, and used her family status to travel among the powerful; he held the power of the Nie clan and secretly linked up with the military generals.
The rumors of "the birth of a red ghost" were never a disaster from heaven, but the beginning of rebellious ministers and traitors seeking to seize imperial power.
The charge of "Xie's rebellion" back then was only an unfounded charge, and only an orphan girl survived among the seventy-six members of the clan.
The court is full of strife, traitors are rampant, and conspiracies are endless.
He is good at strategizing, controlling chess games, and stirring up troubles in the dark;
She is scheming, setting up puzzles, and dealing with checks and balances in the inner house.
Since then, powerful forces have joined forces to tear apart the layers of disguise, liquidate old enemies, smash treasonous plots, eliminate traitors, and upright the government. In the midst of power disputes, they promise to stay with each other for life.
Determination: Destiny kisses me with pain. I wield the sword with my beloved and fight a bloody path.
