In the fourth year of Wuhuan, Ning Zhan, the lord of Wuhuan City, defeated Xiaoyao King Zhuji, married Ye Qingcheng, the most beautiful woman in the Yeri tribe, and then retreated to White Wolf Valley, confronting Xiaoyao Kingdom across Moon Bay for twelve years.
In the sixteenth year of Wuhuan, the wife of the city lord of Wuhuan City mysteriously hanged herself at night in Qingcheng. The Lord of Wuhuan City, Ning Zhan, led his army southward, crossed Moon Bay, hanged Xiaoyao Wang Zhuji, and ordered the bloody massacre of the Yeri tribe. The second beauty of the Yeri tribe, the Queen of Xiaoyao Kingdom is the sister of the late beauty Ye Qingcheng. In order to save the prince Yehuan and the tribesmen, Qingguo met with Ning Zhan alone and begged him to make a truce so that the Yeri tribesmen could have a way to survive. In order to stop Ning Zhan from continuing to kill people, Qingguo hanged himself to atone after giving birth to a young girl, Niansheng. Ning Zhan was shocked by his courage to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and issued a no-kill order, classifying the Yeri tribe as a slave tribe, subject to Wuhuan City, and exempted from Wuhuan City's conquest for twenty years; he also took away Yehuan, the only son of King Xiaoyao, and adopted him as his adopted son, becoming the second city lord of Wuhuan City. Ye Huan's younger sister Nian Sheng was taken away by Zhu Jizi, a holy monk from the Ye Ri tribe, and was taken care of in Daruo Temple.
Twenty years later, when the no-kill order expires, will the stolen peace of the Yeri tribe be broken by another long-planned conspiracy? Can Ye Huan and Nian Sheng renew their brother-sister relationship? Why did Ye Qingcheng die back then? What are the secrets buried in Danuo Temple and Moon Bay?
