Gu Zhao, the legitimate son of the Northern Defense Marquis, was exiled five years ago on false charges of colluding with enemies. He hid his identity to join the northwest border army and eventually became the "Western Pacification General" who crushed the Hu tribes and defended thousands of miles of territory. Now he returns to the capital in disguise, only to find his family has stolen his military glory for his half-brother Gu Heng—who even plans to marry Su Wantang, Gu Zhao’s former fiancée. But Su Wantang, the girl who cried as he was exiled, has long seen through Gu Heng’s lies. She’s been holding the jade pendant Gu Zhao left her, waiting for him to come back. Faced with his family’s greed and his old love’s quiet faith, Gu Zhao smirks: If you want to steal my merits, then I’ll lay bare not just my identity as the Western General, but the entire game of the empire—right in front of everyone.
