Simple and streamlined version: On the separation and reunion between the remnant of the guilty minister and the unfavored prince, and on how unreliable human love and hate are.
A sinister, cold-blooded and ruthless emperor attacks the inner drama of many ministers and suffers from it. There is no betrayal or chasing after his wife in the crematorium. Everyone talks about the two-way secret love. The premise of all the stories is that they are in love with each other.
Complex version:
During the Qi Dynasty, the young marquis who was idle at home was commissioned by a friend to compile the history of the country and went to the home of an old man who was said to have lived for hundreds of years. He tried to find out the truth about a battle that almost destroyed the old capital Qingtian City. Little did he know that the story started when the fifth prince and the eldest son of Ding Guogong rescued an ungrateful soldier at the gate of the city.
Fang Ping, who was born into a family of sinners, would not know that this was the beginning of his destiny. Yan Lian, who was not favored in the palace, would not know the price his ambition would cost him. The seventh son and the princes who were noisy in the palace school would not realize that when they leave the palace and go to the front court, everything will no longer be under their control. The situation in Daqi is changing, and beneath it are the love and hatred of young people that are destined to be fruitless and finalized before they are revealed.
Only names and stories, only names and stories will be passed down.
