On an autumn night in Qidu, the free clinic run by Lan Qi, an assassin from the Yunmo Pavilion, blocked the road to the underworld for Lin Xin, a Brocade Guard.

Looking at the Brocade Guard, who had lost her saber and was unconscious on the bed, Lan Qi realized he had a job to do.

The Yunmo Pavilion kills to stop killing and enforces Heaven's justice. Lan Qi kindly dealt with the martial artists who had committed crimes on behalf of the authorities, only for Lin Xin to step right over him like a ladder to success.

Lan Qi: "...You're welcome."

But that was only the beginning.

The turmoil in Qidu gradually drew in the Vice Minister of Personnel, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the Minister of Revenue, and the General Who Guards the Nation.

The court was unstable and the people were on edge, and the affair was also tied to a wrongful case from the previous dynasty involving treason and collaboration with the enemy.

The Yunmo Pavilion's role in it all was faint and hard to make out.

"The assassination branch of the Yunmo Pavilion under my command has always dealt with each matter on its merits, killing to stop killing, trading one or two lives for peace among the people," Lan Qi said to Jin Lu, each word deliberate. "But this person seems determined to throw the world into chaos, set on plunging the court into turmoil."

"I think they and I are on the same path," Lin Xin said, looking at Qiao Ji, her gaze flashing coldly. "We all use whatever means necessary to make sure no one in the world is wronged."

There was a mole in the Yunmo Pavilion, and Lan Qi was furious.

The Yunmo Pavilion dared to kill, and Lin Xin was so angry her head hurt.

After several clashes, their masks shattered to the ground.

A fan collided with an embroidered spring saber, breaking through every test, every hint of flirtation, and every suspicion.

All that remained was Lin Xin, with her own hands, reopening every wound she had once bandaged on the person before her, driving hatred deep into their bones and blood.

A jianghu assassin who kills to stop killing and a Brocade Guard vice commander who stops at nothing are both drawn into a game as other people's pawns.

They play opposing roles in a string of murders in Qidu, then join hands to expose a shocking conspiracy five years in the making, each pursuing their own goals.

They repay kindness with betrayal, scheme against each other, keep each other in check, and each insist on their own version of the truth.

Through countless schemes, tests, suspicions, and clashes, they begin to share each other's pain and cherish each other.

As they investigate the cases, they witness revenge, slaughter, trust, and loyalty committed in the name of honor and affection.

Without realizing it, they save each other through the beliefs they share.

"Anyway, this world is full of people who love and stay true to each other without names or titles."
