During the Kangxi period, undercurrents surged under the heyday of imperial power. Nine princes competed for the position of crown prince and launched a thrilling power struggle. They either win over courtiers, form cliques for personal gain, take advantage of family ties, or hide murderous intentions, turning the Forbidden City into a battlefield without gunpowder. From Prince Yinzhen's conflicting attitude, to the fourth prince Yinzhen's forbearance, to the eighth prince Yinzhen's good relationship, every prince showed his ambition and strategy in this cruel battle.

In the end, in the baptism of blood and fire, the future helmsman of the Qing Dynasty was decided.
