share time: 2025-11-29 12:30:13

Gu Yanqing, the young master of the Gu family in the capital, is the most hated "profligate" in the empire—he gambles with cocks, hunts dogs, smashes shops, and even steals brides, making the emperor call him "a piece of useless mud". But at night, he dons black robes and becomes a shadow guard to protect Su Wanning, the daughter of the Minister of Rites who's being hunted. Ten years ago, the Gu family was massacred, and it was Su's father who risked his life to hide the young Gu Yanqing. Now the Su family is framed for treason, so Gu Yanqing uses his profligate persona to fool the mastermind while secretly planning to clear their names. When Su Wanning accidentally uncovers his disguise, and when the enemy's knife presses against their necks, can this "good-for-nothing" young master unleash the edge he's hidden for ten years to protect his beloved and restore justice for both families?
