[Strong Male and Female Leads] Li Hanzhou and Jiang Fengmian should have been two people with nothing in common, but they were brought together by Jingbei Manor, whose entire household was slaughtered by bandits fifteen years ago.

The old emperor is gravely ill, and a new emperor is about to take the throne. At court and throughout the martial world, all sides are stirring, and the realm is suddenly in turmoil. The nation's enmity and family grudges leave them trapped with no way forward and enemies on every side. The martial world is no longer what it once was, because it has always been part of the realm.
