Su Rantang, the youngest son of the Yin emperor and his most beloved child, is noble by birth, exceptionally talented and handsome, and renowned for his beauty.
But he is a born flirt who refuses to marry. He has sworn to admire beauties all over the world and never hang himself from a single tree.
At the time, Yin and Xuan had been at war for years. Xuan repeatedly launched surprise attacks and captured several of Yin's finest generals.
To rescue the prisoners and gather intelligence, Su Rantang personally set out to win over Meng Mingke, the famous man-loving prince of Xuan.
He put his talents to work and flirted with all his might, successfully making the Xuan emperor, who had fallen in love with him, release the Yin prisoners.
That very night, as the two sat facing each other over drinks, Su Rantang held a dagger to the enemy emperor's throat.
Leaning close to his ear, he murmured tenderly, like a lover: "Your Majesty, let me tell you a secret..."
"My true identity... is the Prince of Xin of Yin."
"Thank you for releasing the prisoners. I'm leaving."

The person Meng Mingke hated most in the world was Su Rantang!
He worked tirelessly to strengthen his rule, wiped out the corrupt ministers and eunuchs at court, and reclaimed power.
His next move was to agree to join forces with Yin against the Xiongnu, on one condition: he wanted Su Rantang.
He would make him pay dearly!
The Yin emperor refused.
The Xuan emperor stood firm.
Just as neither side would give an inch, a message suddenly arrived:
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu invaded the borders of Yin and Xuan yesterday. The Prince of Xin led his troops against them and died on the battlefield. Before he died, he left a message saying he hoped this would make amends to you!"
Everyone thought the Xuan emperor would be delighted. Instead, he vomited blood on the spot, then led the army himself despite his grave illness and completely annihilated the Xiongnu.

On the day of the great victory, Su Rantang, who had faked his death, left the Xiongnu camp and rode away beneath the moonlight, bringing another undercover mission to an end.
But halfway along the road, he came across someone burning paper offerings and weeping at the grave he had put up during his fake death.
He reined in his horse and turned back. The other person suddenly looked up. The moment they saw each other, both were stunned.
Su Rantang: "..."
Meng Mingke: "..."
