Gu Zhaonian, the all-powerful Prime Minister, is assassinated and saved by Su Wan, a fleeing young herbalist. The "Living Yama" who has blood on his hands regains long-lost warmth in Su Wan's innocence—he hides his bloody sword for her, fights for osmanthus cakes across the capital, and even defies the Empress Dowager in court for her. But when political enemies discover Su Wan is the late emperor's orphan, Gu's soft spot becomes a fatal flaw: the Empress Dowager, who helped him rise to power, threatens to execute his entire family unless he kills Su Wan; meanwhile, Su Wan is the girl he'd give his life to protect. How will he guard her safely in the deadly whirlpool of power?
