Synopsis
The story of the fictional kingdom Tian Sheng, born from a conquest of Greater Cheng (Da Cheng) with the support of the powerful Chang family. As a reward, the head of the Chang family was given the Min Stronghold (Min Zhai) and title Duke of Min, retaining a lot of political power and abusing Min Zhai's citizens. The Jinshi are a nomadic tribe to the North of Tian Sheng, ruled by the Helian clan. Da Cheng, Tian Sheng and Jinshi were once part of Greater Yue and some look to restore its former glory.
The story starts with Ning Yi, the 6th prince, being released from captivity after 18 years, who is then betrothed to Colonel Qiu Shaiqi's daughter. However her place is taken by Feng Zhiwei, the Colonel's niece as her birth card is a more favourable match. Ning Yi is intrigued by her sharp mind and as he starts his plot to avenge his brother Ning Qiao and his mother Ya Le, Zhiwei's fate becomes entangled with his. She dislikes his vengeful character, admires his intelligence, does not like to be part of a clique and yet his sense of justice often forces her to his side. As they navigate the political currents in this ocean of secrets, loyalties and schemes, their bond intensifies and yet - so do their differences.
