In the ancient kingdom of Xijiang, the Yuchi royal house has passed down its teachings through the generations: put the kingdom first, put all under heaven first. Yuchi Xuanzhi stayed away from the court’s power struggles for ten years, but in the end, he returned, bound by the royal blood in his veins and the duty of the royal family. He must not fail the people of the realm, but he fears he may have no choice but to fail him.
Ruan Xin devoted himself to following Yuchi Xuanzhi, but could he withstand everyone’s schemes and calculations? And does the person waiting for him even need him?
The love and hatred entangled since their fathers’ generation have carried over into this one. Will resentment and regret be allowed to wreak havoc, or will they cut through the tangled mess and finally settle their scores? So often, people are worse than demons!
