After the defeat of Beiyang, Pei Hengjin was sent to Dongyan as a hostage to study in the Imperial College together with the imperial relatives. Because of his identity as a hostage and the persona of being a lonely and difficult-to-understand facial paralyzed academic, he was ostracized and bullied by other students. However, Xiao, the prime minister's son, who pretended to be good and innocent, tried to trick his scumbag father into letting down his guard. Seeing the moon was his only salvation. Later, Prime Minister Xiao Buxing rebelled. Pei Hengjin took advantage of the chaos and fled back to Beiyang. He lurked and pretended to be a wealthy businessman from the east. He quietly accumulated popular support and cultivated military strength. After the death of the Beiyang emperor, Prince Pei Mian ascended the throne. Pei Hengjin led his troops to usurp the throne.
After Dongyan changed the dynasty to Dongming, the new prince Xiao Jianyue and the deposed prince Cheng Song arranged to fake his death, but in fact they secretly exchanged blood for the imperial city. After being usurped, Pei Hengjin, who successfully sneaked back, discovered that Xiao Jianyue and Beiyang's country cooperated with others after the fake death, and gradually eroded the court and emptied the scumbag father.
