A vengeful lone minister with a pen as a blade * Bai Qiehei who is warm on the outside but strong on the inside * He who has endured alone for twenty years
The Dajing Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed military power. In the twenty-third year of Jinghe's reign, the army in the north suffered a huge deficit in pay, and the soldiers at the border were frozen and discouraged. The emperor issued an imperial decree and ordered the censor Zhongcheng Shen Zhiyan to investigate the case in the north. Shen Zhiyan—a gentleman recognized by the court as a pure gentleman, as gentle as jade. No one knows that he is the only orphan of the Shen family massacre twenty years ago. He has been hiding in hiding until now, using his pen as a blade and the law as a sword. Lu Jinghan——General Zhenbei who returned from hundreds of battles, is cold, stern and taciturn. No one knows that he is the youngest son who was sacrificed in the Lu family's conspiracy case twenty years ago. He holds a knife as a shield and flesh and blood as a city. Everyone in the government and the public knows that this is a hard nut that cannot be chewed and a warm piece of paper that cannot be broken, and it is destined to be tit-for-tat. But no one knows that on that snowy night twenty years ago, a young man handed his last dry food and old cotton-padded jacket to another dying young man. They forgot each other's faces, but remembered the snow.
From mutual testing to secret trust, from life and death to the reveal of fate. When the drums of Dengwen resounded throughout the imperial city, when the blood feud of twenty years was finally revealed - one person wrote to secure the court, and the other held the gun to guard the mountains and rivers. They don't have to spend time with each other day and night, but they are at home with each other year after year.
