For years, Dai Dynasty and Shibeibu Empire have been at war.

Following a recent victory over the Shibeibu convoy, General Xue Lei returns as a national hero. But the joy is short-lived when he is sentenced for a crime he did not commit.

Upon learning this from Princess Dai Yu, Li Neng Yuan informed his father Teng Yuan - who at the same time was appointed as judge and ordered to pass death verdict on Xue Lei as soon as possible despite his insistence to get to the bottom of this first.

At the same time, Xue Lei’s mentor Master Zhang and his apprentice Chi Feng came all the way to Capital City to meet and strategize with his good friend Teng Yuan and his son on how best to rescue him.

It is now a cat-and-mouse political game as Teng Yuan finds himself caught in the dilemma between his family and loved ones. But whichever choice he makes,

The outcome is still chaos!
