Lin Zhao, a poor scholar, is publicly humiliated when his fiancée breaks off their engagement for a magistrate's son. Wandering the streets in despair, he stumbles upon a secret scroll of the late emperor and gets involved in the imperial power struggle. At this moment, Shen Wanzhao, daughter of a powerful minister, takes the initiative to approach him—she was supposed to spy for her father, but had already fallen in love with him when he stood up for a stranger. As Lin Zhao learns military strategy from the scroll and rises from a nobody to a general, he uncovers a shocking truth: he is the late emperor's orphan, and everything—the broken engagement, the scroll, even Shen Wanzhao's approach—was a plot against him. Caught between the throne within reach and the woman he loves deeply, can he hold onto his original heart amidst the fog of power and finally have his wishes granted?
