As Daliang Kingdom nears its end, young Emperor Xiao Jing suddenly decrees to take Su Wan—a hostage from the enemy state—as his concubine. While the court erupts in shock, Su Wan hides a poisoned needle in her sleeve: she’s an assassin sent to kill Xiao Jing. But after entering the palace, she discovers Xiao Jing had long seen through her identity and secretly rescued her family from the enemy’s imprisonment. On the eve of the city’s fall, Xiao Jing shoves the imperial seal into her hands: “I’ll hold the world for you first—wait for me.” His “foolishness” was always a plan to protect her. When the siege horns blare, Xiao Jing turns to charge the city gate, leaving Su Wan clutching the seal and weeping as she finally understands.
