Ten years ago, the Prince of Pingxi's residence was framed by treacherous villains. The entire household was executed overnight, and the Prince of Pingxi was beheaded in public, dying with hatred in his heart.
Lin Fan, the Prince of Pingxi's heir, was known as a wastrel. He escaped death by pretending to be insane, but was ultimately made an example of to deter others and sent to the freezing prison in the far north, where he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
For ten years, Lin Fan cultivated with Leng Cangxue, the Great Zhou's famously beautiful woman, who was imprisoned in the ice dungeon. Together, they soared to unimaginable heights of power.
Ten years later, the Prince of Pingxi's heir, Lin Fan, emerged from prison in a show of force, cleared his family's name, and swept across the land.
