On the night of Bianjing in the third year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty, the golden sword given to him by Bao Zheng, the governor of Kaifeng, mysteriously disappeared. Only a blood-stained jade pendant with "Nan Xia" inscribed on it was left at the scene. When the watchman rang the fourth watch, Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard with a sword, had become a wanted prisoner of the imperial court whose ink was not dry on the document.
In order to clear up his grievances, Zhan Zhao's nocturnal footprints were all over the dark alleys of Bianjing: the closed gates of the Tianbo Yang Mansion, the rumors of "killing the master" spread in the black market, and the half tiger charm left by the mysterious woman Shen Qingci in the teahouse. This woman in black who always appeared when she was young actually knew every detail of the Tianjian Sect's murder case twenty years ago. When Zhan Zhao found out that she was actually his long-lost junior sister, the record of the secret meeting between the Xixia envoy and Master Pang was lying quietly in the evidence room of Kaifeng Mansion.
From the flash of swords in Zhouqiao Night Market to the life-and-death showdown at Longting Lake, when Zhan Zhao and Shen Qingci combined their swords to pierce the truth, the night sky of the Song Dynasty finally rained blood that lasted for twenty years. It turns out that the deepest night is always hidden in the bright lights of Zhumenxihu. And the path of a knight is destined to be walked alone in the night without anyone witnessing it.
