The setting sun stains the scorched earth of Changle Palace, and the new emperor Xiao Che stands on the ruins. What awaits him is Shen Qingwu, the criminal minister who was forced away by him three years ago for "collaboration with the enemy and treason." A broken jade pendant brings out the bloody alliance that closed the ruined temple seven years ago. He is a forbearing and downtrodden prince, and she is the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family who is extremely wise in both the government and the public. The two gamble with their country and power, and work together to stir up the turmoil in the capital.
