In the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongning's reign, the Shen clan in the north was destroyed overnight.
Seventy-two members of the Hou family were accused of collaborating with the enemy, and their bodies were buried in the wilderness without anyone to collect them. Shen Yanchuan, the only survivor, woke up from the mass grave with an ancient bronze lamp burning with white flames beside him.
That lamp can illuminate the last obsession of the deceased and also allow him to see the fate of the living.
Some people are destined to have a fire like a torch, and they are destined to be crowned princes and prime ministers; others are destined to have a fire that is extinguished, and they will die within three days. But Shen Yanchuan couldn't see his own life, nor could he see the life of Xie Mingzhao, the seventh princess of Leng Palace.
There was no life fire behind her, only a darkness that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
In order to find out the truth behind the annihilation of the Hou Mansion, Shen Yanchuan returned to the imperial city as the orphan of the guilty minister, and reached a deal with Xie Mingzhao with different intentions. He pried into the secrets left behind by the dead for her, and she used her royal status to open the forbidden door in the palace for him. From the late prime minister who would return home at night to review memorials, to the ancient border city that plunged the people all over the city into the same nightmare, behind every mystery, they all point to the legendary twelve bone lamps that can tamper with the fate of everyone.
However, every time the green lantern is used, Shen Yanchuan will lose a piece of his own memory.
He forgot what his mother looked like when he died, what his brother once said, and he also began to forget the woman who had walked through countless lives and deaths with him.
Xie Mingzhao knew that one day he would completely forget her, but she still walked in front of him again and again, letting him know her again, believe in her again, and fall in love with her again.
When twelve ancient lamps appeared one after another, the fate of the world began to collapse, and a truth that had been buried for thousands of years finally emerged.
