Wen Tian, the adopted son of the Qin family, has always faced hardship. Born weak and sent to live with the Bai family, his future seemed secure when a marriage was arranged with Bai Qiu Xue. But the Bais had other plans—they wanted a more powerful alliance and plotted Wen Tian’s death.

He survives the assassination attempt and escapes to the Jiuhua Sect, a renowned martial arts school. There, he meets Mo Qing Chen and the exiled Crown Prince Yi Wu Wei, whose throne was stolen by his own uncle.

Putting aside his personal revenge, Wen Tian joins Wu Wei’s quest to reclaim the throne. Together, they head to the Imperial City—but defeating a usurper is only the beginning. A greater evil lurks in the shadows, one that threatens everything they hold dear.
