Synopsis
At the dawn of a new dynasty, the imperial court appears calm, yet danger churns beneath the surface. When Ye Zhao’s family is slaughtered overnight, he alone survives. Determined to uncover the truth and avenge his loved ones, he abandons his name, assumes the identity of Meng Jianqing (played by Gong Jun), and infiltrates the Embroidered Uniform Guard—the blade of imperial power. Caught between court conspiracies and the ruthless forces of the martial world, Ye Zhao fights through blood and betrayal, forging himself into a blade sharp enough to cleave the darkness and meet the coming dawn.
