Childhood sweethearts, with hair in sight, Chen Hanru is waiting with joy for her brother Yi's triumphant marriage. Unexpectedly, bloody and tragic news came from the front line: Pingchuan was defeated, the national protector General Lu Zhenyi committed suicide in fear of crime, and the entire Lu family was executed! What's even more frightening is that her sweetheart Yi Chuanying and his brother are also among the "dead bodies"! The hometown was instantly swallowed up by grief and panic. Chen Hanru and her love rival Xue Huanchun put aside their differences in despair, but they were shocked to hear that Yi Chuanying might not be dead and was being secretly taken to the capital! They resolutely joined hands and took Yi Chuanying's seriously ill mother and sister with them on the dangerous road to Beijing.
Beijing, the center of the storm. Yi Chuanying woke up from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but faced a deep palace cage and the emperor's unpredictable scrutiny. After a shocking trial, he was actually adopted as the adopted son by the Nine-Fifth Emperor! Glory and wealth are within reach. After Chen Hanru and others arrived in Beijing after many hardships, the joy of reunion had not yet dissipated, but a shocking conspiracy quietly surfaced - the escaping culprit brought the bloody truth: Yi Chuanying was actually the biological blood of Lu Zhenyi, who had been exterminated for treason!
On the one hand, there is the royal wealth and the favor of the "adopted father" at your fingertips, on the other hand, the blood feud of the biological father and the righteousness of the family and country. When the bloodline is burdened with heinous sins, and the grace of upbringing and the righteousness of the family and country are at odds with each other, how should this young couple who crawled out of the mud in the countryside make a fateful choice in the turbulent court?
