The Ming Dynasty’s capital, Fusheng, hums with tension. Four clans rule: Lei, Shan, Xie, Wang. The Anling talisman, once held by General Xie, now fuels intrigue. The Emperor, swayed by ministers, destroyed the Lei and Xie houses. Only seven-year-old Lei Han survived the massacre. Twenty years later, Lei Han, a skilled martial artist and Crown Prince’s peer, seeks the Grand Princess to uncover the truth. He must court the Xie family. Below, in the bustling square, Xie Caiyan, the Xie heiress, faces humiliation. Her fiancé, Shan Gu, publicly breaks their engagement, holding a brothel girl, calling Caiyan 'scary.' Above, in a teahouse, Lei Han and his friend Kai Ming watch from the shadows, their eyes locked on the defiant, beautiful girl.
