The new emperor Pei Zhaoyan ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Zhaoshuo. Although he was the emperor, the government was controlled by his biological mother, the Queen Mother Mo Yu, who was from the Mo Cang tribe. The Queen Mother has great ambitions and secretly leads Mo Cang's forces to plot in the Central Plains. The court is full of strife and turmoil arises one after another.
The former prime minister Shangguan Jing'an was loyal to the late emperor but was ordered to exterminate his family by the new emperor. His daughter Shangguan Zhiwei was sent to the Emei sect to learn swordsmanship ten years ago, but she luckily escaped. After learning about the tragedy in her family, she resolutely went down the mountain and stepped into the turbulent world, vowing to avenge her family.
On the way, she met four companions with different backgrounds:
Lin Yanyu, the daughter of the newly promoted prime minister who was unwilling to be manipulated by her family's marriage and resolutely ran away from marriage; Yan Zhixia, the daughter of Yan Jingqian, a general with a dashing military power who had been reduced in military power; Sima Yun, the son of Sima Chong, the calm and scheming national advisor; and Sima Lingyao, the smart and intelligent daughter of the imperial advisor.
The five people each have their own difficulties, but they care for each other and share life and death together. Emei, Suya and other righteous people in the world also came to help. Together, they were involved in the whirlpool of the court and the world, and they were at every step between the confrontation between good and evil, and the righteousness of the family and the country.
In the past, we were golden branches and jade leaves, but now we are fellow travelers in the world.
The five boys and girls used their own wisdom and sharpness to stir up the court situation, uncover layers of conspiracies, and finally wrote a legend that shook the entire Zhaoshuo in their humble lives.
Purpose: With the national justice as the backbone and youthful friendship as the soul, a group of young people trapped in the chess game of destiny do not bow to power or compromise with fate in the bloody chaos of troubled times. They stand for the right path with sharpness and sincerity and maintain peace for the world.
