Chu Zhao, the daughter of a general, refuses to accept a fate in which she becomes a pawn in the power struggles of Xiao Xun, the heir of the State of Chu. Reborn with the memories of her past, she believes that only decisive action can change destiny, and she chooses to step into the center of political turmoil rather than be consumed by it.
Along this path, Chu Zhao meets Xie Yan Lai, the illegitimate son of the Xie family, and their encounter alters both of their lives. She brings light to his once bleak existence and helps him break free from the limits imposed upon him. From a low-ranking Imperial Guard soldier, Xie Yan Lai steadily rises to become a general who defends the nation.
