When Dafeng stumbled upon Li Huamei, gravely ill and the victim of a sinister plot, he couldn’t leave her behind. Bound by a sense of duty, he saved her life. As fate would have it, they were both headed to Kyoto—Dafeng in search of his senior sister and Li Huamei to uncover the truth behind the conspiracy against her.
Along the way, Li Huamei made a startling discovery: her senior sister was none other than Queen Qin Zhao, a powerful figure who had repeatedly sent assassins to end her life. Struggling to understand why someone so close would want her dead, Li Huamei found an unlikely ally in Dafeng. Together, they vowed to protect each other as they faced relentless enemies and unraveled the web of treachery surrounding them.
Their journey took them deep into the heart of danger—where rivalries in the martial world clashed with the deadly politics of the imperial court. Unbeknownst to Dafeng, he held the key to unlocking a conspiracy far greater than either of them could have imagined. With trust forged in the crucible of survival, Dafeng and Li Huamei confronted betrayal, power, and their own destinies.
