Zhu Xixiao is a son of an aristocratic family and a high-ranking official in Jinyiwei. He is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, and cares about the country and the people. They tried their best to rescue Wang Zhi and Mao Haifeng so that they could be used by the court to fight against the Japanese pirates. Because of the obstruction from different voices in the court, he failed to save people, but accidentally met one of his childhood sisters - Xia Mengmeng, the granddaughter of Xia Yan, the former chief minister of the cabinet, and Li Xiaxin, the adopted daughter of the heroine Li Shizhen in this book.
Wang Zhi was beheaded. He expected that there would be chaos in the southeast, so he secretly went to Zhejiang, dug out the hidden stakes planted by the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, and the profiteers who were collaborating with the Japanese. He cooperated with Qi Jiguang in the battle, which led to the famous Taizhou victory in the history of the anti-Japanese war.
King Yinjing also fell in love with Li Xiaxin and set up a scheme to assassinate Zhu Xixiao, which resulted in the murder of Li Xiaxin's adoptive mother and Li Shizhen's wife. As a result, Li Xiaxin fell into sadness and depression.
After Zhu Xixiao returned to the court, he overthrew the Yan family. Amidst numerous conspiracies and swordplay, Lu Yanyuan's sister and Yan Shaoting's wife Lu Xuan died unexpectedly. The three brothers turned against each other. At the same time, Emperor Jiajing gave Li Xiaxin as his concubine in order to comfort his beloved son King Jing, who was about to join the vassal.
Zhu Xixiao, who was in grief, did not forget his mission. He pretended to lose control of his emotions, got into a fight at the emperor's banquet, and even injured his brother Zhu Xizhong. In fact, this was a double act between him and Jiajing. On the night he was imprisoned, he left the imperial prison and went to the southeast coast. He changed his appearance and looked for an opportunity to break into the enemy's interior.
The Japanese invasion subsided, the maritime ban was lifted, and merchant ships loaded with silk, porcelain, tea and other Chinese specialties sailed overseas.
The heroine Li Xiaxin is on the dock, looking forward to the return of the hero.
