It tells the story of the imprisoned orphan Ling Che of the Jinghong Mansion and the suspicious young master of the Canglan Sect Shen Qinghan, whose fates intertwined due to the "Monster Clan Disaster" that was covered up five years ago.
The aristocratic families in the Eastern Continent gathered together, respecting ancient practices and maintaining a calm atmosphere; the Western Continent was adjacent to the Demon Realm, and there were constant disputes. The Burning Heaven Palace maintained order with an iron fist. Ling Che went through five years of hardship in the Soul Locking Prison of the West Continent, but the cold iron chains could not restrain his obsession. He secretly practiced the "Fengchuan Record" left by his relatives and friends, just to find out the truth about his relatives and friends and the frame-up of Jinghong Mansion. Palace Master Fentian gave him an opportunity - to participate in the East-West Continent Family Competition, and if he could be among the top ten, he would re-examine the old case.
As the young master of Canglan Sect, Shen Qinghan has doubts about conventions hidden under his perfect appearance. He becomes suspicious after accidentally discovering the encrypted files of the disaster five years ago. When she was ordered to explore the Western Continent, she unexpectedly met Ling Che, who was being hunted. Their first encounter left a deep impression on them because of their different styles.
During the family competition, Ling Che's identity was exposed. Shen Qinghan was shocked to find that the shadow of Jinghong Mansion in his moves matched the records in the file, so he secretly investigated. During the competition, Ling Che was repeatedly plotted against, and Shen Qinghan either secretly assisted or fought due to their positions. The two went from being wary to testing, and gradually intertwined as they jointly pursued the truth.
After the competition, the two were forced to cooperate and track down key figures across the east and west continents. However, they were repeatedly hunted, their clues were destroyed, they were betrayed by someone they trusted, and fell into isolation. They gradually uncovered the truth: the "demon trouble" that year was forged by careerists with the purpose of secretly communicating with the demon realm, stealing the demon-suppressing beads that can open the passage to the demon realm, and controlling the two continents.
Ling Che's "Burning Sword" requires the inner flame to burn the potential, and the power of destruction is hidden in the pain; Shen Qinghan's Frost Sword gave birth to inner demons due to contact with darkness, but it also seeks new life in breaking the rules. The two put aside the barriers between life and death, and in the blazing fire of the Burning River and the tenacity of Ningshuang, they faced the darkness together and pursued the concealed truth and justice.
Purpose: True peace never relies on power or rules, but comes from the protection of individual dignity and the reverence for the truth. Even if you have to burn yourself and break your inherent cognition for this, you must let justice penetrate the fog and let prejudice give way to understanding.
