In the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court was corrupt and tyrannical. The people of Xiyan could not bear the oppression and revolted. The war quickly spread to all directions, and the troubled times began.
Xiao Linyan was the most neglected person in the royal family. His mother and concubine died young, he had no relatives to support him, and he had no intention of fighting for power. He lived alone in a secluded palace all year round, thanking guests behind closed doors, with a cold and taciturn temperament. He was surrounded by lingering loneliness, like a lonely figure trapped in a gilded cage, covered with shackles and unable to control himself. Both the government and the public regarded him as an idle and useless king, and no one knew that he was watching the chaos with a cold eye, and that he hid compassion for the common people in his heart.
Shen Heyi is a wandering swordsman in the rivers and lakes alone. He has no family and no ties. He travels thousands of miles across mountains and rivers with a long sword. After seeing all the displaced refugees and hearing about the Xiyan uprising, he immediately headed west with his sword in hand, hoping to protect the stability of the people at the bottom with the sharp knife in his hand.
The two met unexpectedly in a deserted city amid war. One has royal blood and is controlled by the court at every step; the other is free and unrestrained and believes in justice in the world. The positions are contradictory, the road ahead is contradictory, power schemes and battlefield crises ensue.
