Synopsis
In the eleventh year of the Chengkang era, Prince Jiang Xu of Dingbei returns to the Daxian Dynasty after eight years guarding the borders. His mission is clear: investigate the embezzlement of military pay meant for the Dingbei army. What appears at first to be a straightforward corruption case soon reveals itself to be far more complicated, with deep roots stretching into the heart of the imperial court.
To protect the influential Ming family from being used as political pawns, Jiang Xu proposes a marriage of convenience to Ming Tan, the daughter of a respected general. Though their union begins as a strategic alliance, the two must learn to trust one another as danger closes in from all sides.
As Jiang Xu digs deeper, he discovers that the conspiracy is tied to the economic lifeline of the entire dynasty. Determined to cleanse the court, he wages a relentless battle against corrupt officials and hidden enemies. However, his aggressive pursuit of justice leads to unintended consequences when the Ming family is framed and falls into ruin.
Caught between duty, love, and political survival, Jiang Xu and Ming Tan must confront betrayal and heartbreak while deciding whether their alliance can endure the storm threatening to tear the empire apart.
