Ning Yi (Kun Chen) is the calculating, ambitious prince of the ruling kingdom, yet has learnt to hide his true personality behind a carefree facade. Over the next decade, he waits for the chance to strike down his enemies.
Feng Zhiwei (Ni Ni) is banished from her household after being falsely accused of a crime.
In order to survive, she dresses as a man and joins the prestigious Qingming Academy. She ends up at court where she befriends Ning Yi, but then finds out she is the only surviving royalty of a fallen kingdom.
Manipulated into thinking the current kingdom was built upon the corpses of her loved ones, Zhiwei decides to take revenge on her enemies, including Ning Yi.
