The Huainan Dynasty has been suffering from long-standing shortcomings. Strict class barriers have trapped the people at the bottom in the quagmire. The powerful have controlled power, and corrupt rules have oppressed all living beings.
Wu Ning, who was born in a bitter cold land with four steps on the snow, has been stigmatized since childhood and grew up at the bottom of the class. He is proud, tough and sober, unwilling to be trapped by fate and class. She started from a humble beginning, worked step by step in troubled times, leapfrogged up the ranks, and worked her way up to the center of power on her own. She always had an obsession in her heart to break injustice and save people.
Qin Yue, who is at the pinnacle of power in the dynasty, came into power at a young age and has a cold eye to see through the strife in the court and the chaos in the world. She has an indifferent and transparent temperament, and she deals with various forces. She uses her high position to check and balance the chess game, but she is also trapped in the loneliness of the powerful circle.
A first encounter, meeting under the moon, falling in love with each other.
One person works from the bottom up and breaks the shackles of class; the other person occupies a high position and controls the affairs of the court. They wandered in the turbulent whirlpool of intrigues, testing each other and helping each other, becoming each other's only weakness and armor in the intrigues and battles.
When the decadence of the old dynasty became irreversible, the two decided to work together. Using power as a blade and original intention as a torch, they join forces to overthrow the old order that has lasted for hundreds of years, break the shackles of the class that oppresses the bottom, open up a world in troubled times, and establish a new dynasty where everyone is equal.
From being strangers and close friends to being deeply in love, the cold moon and the cold snow finally stay together for a lifetime amidst the machinations of the troubled times.
