[The power plot is like an abyss, the deep love is like ashes]
When Nanchen was first established, Emperor Gu Hongyuan was in control of the country, but he could not hide his suspicion. The brothers who fought side by side in blood in the past - Tanling Marquis Shen Yi, Wu'an Marquis Zhu Lin, and Prime Minister Xie Yunzhi have outstanding achievements, but they have become potential threats under the emperor's power.
The fourth prince Gu Chong, King Jing'an, appears to be a noble family member, but in fact he is a pawn used by his father to check and balance the prince. Carrying the blood feud of his maternal ancestor, the Cheng family, for collaborating with the enemy and treason, he was walking on thin ice between the hypocrisy of the crown prince Gu Yi and the violent attack of the third prince Gu Kan. Only Shen Yanqing, the youngest son of the Marquis of Tanling, is his only ally in the darkness.
With a piece of paper, the marriage was granted, and Xie Lingzhao, the Prime Minister Mingzhu and Princess Xuanji, was betrothed to Gu Chong. Everyone knows that this is the shortcut to the Dragon Throne, but they don't know that it is the emperor's vicious plan to push the prime minister's house to the forefront...
Shen Yanqing, a childhood sweetheart, and Zhu Mingwei, the princess of Guanlan who fostered the Hou Mansion, have a deep love and look forward to being together after returning from the battlefield.
The heart of an emperor is as deep as the sea. Brotherly love, father-son righteousness, and husband-wife love can all be thrown away.
When the past injustices are shrouded in mystery, when the foundation of trust collapses, and when close relatives and loved ones are involved in huge waves... How do these young people, trapped by fate, struggle to survive in the huge web woven by the emperor? Can their broken hearts and feelings find a glimmer of reunion among the ashes that burned everything?
Purpose: In the desperate situation of power struggle, explore the glimmer of humanity and the possibility of eternal love.
