During the Wude reign, the Huben Dark Guards ruled Chang'an, but when feudal lord Xiao Wuyang seized power, they vanished along with the dethroned emperor, Rumors claimed their leader, Yan Fengshan, sought to use the fallen ruler for his own gain. Tasked by Xiao Wuyang to eliminate the Huben, Xie Huaian, a brilliant official from Huainan, saw his chance for revenge - Yan Fengshan had killed his father, and he had spent a decade preparing. With the dethroned emperor as a pawn, Xie Huaian forged an alliance with General Gu Yu, swordsman Ye Zheng, and strategist Han Ziling. Together, they waged a shadowy war against the Huben, a battle that would determine the empire's fate.
