Season 1

In the late years of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, his numerous sons vied for the throne. The fourth prince, with the aid of Lusi, Nian Gengyao, and Han Chong, confronted the fourteenth prince, who enjoyed the backing of martial arts master Zeng Jing. The rivalry between them intensified. Lusi entered a romantic relationship with the fourth prince, while Zeng Jing also harbored feelings for her, complicating the dynamics. Subsequently, the fourth prince killed Kangxi and altered the imperial edict, seizing the throne and proclaiming himself Emperor Yongzheng. From then on, Yongzheng ruthlessly suppressed dissidents and betrayed those who had aided him, driving Lusi to regret her involvement. In the end, the fourteenth prince plotted to assassinate Yongzheng with the support of Zeng Jing and Lusi, unleashing a fierce confrontation.
