Xie Fei, the eldest son of the Xie family, is the most dazzling star of Langya Academy. He has outstanding grace and outstanding swordsmanship. He is the proud son among the children of the family. He was born to stand above thousands of people, fight on the battlefield, and guide the country, but he never realized that his most ardent believer was actually his closest brother.
Xie Chengran, the bastard of the Xie family, a transparent person forgotten by the family. He was pale and gloomy, like a ghost wandering behind Jaffe. He hated Xie Fei for stealing everyone's attention, but he morbidly longed for every inch of his warmth. He memorized every word of Jie Fei's words, secretly hid his used cups and discarded papers, and even sewed pieces of meteorite iron into his armor when he went on an expedition, just to be aware of his presence at all times.
"Brother, you will never know how big a web I have weaved for you."
When the war in the north broke out and Xie Fei was ordered to go into battle, Xie Chengran finally got his chance. He secretly controlled food routes, planted dead soldiers, and even colluded with enemy countries, just to put Xie Fei into a desperate situation - because only those who are dying will truly rely on their rescuers.
However, Jie Fei's light is so bright that even if he falls into the abyss, there are still people who are willing to go through fire and water for him. Wang Zhaojun, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family of Langya, is the best in the world at playing the piano. She is in harmony with Xie Fei's piano and sword and has become a close friend. Her appearance made Xie Chengran's obsession completely out of control.
"If you can't monopolize it, then destroy it."
Conflicts in the court, family feuds, brothers turning against each other... Xie Chengran eroded Xie Fei's trust step by step, paralyzing his mind with chronic poisons, alienating his allies with lies, and even shackled him with his own hands and carved his own name when he was in a coma.
"You hate me? But brother, you have obviously... Been gentle to me."
