Trama

An assassin and a prince forge an unexpected bond amid war and chaos. Years later, they meet again-one as emperor, one as king-forcing them to confront their past feelings and choose between love and duty.

While war reshapes the kingdom and blood marks every rise to power, an assassin and a prince meet beneath a sky heavy with everything they couldn't escape. Duan Ziang was raised in the shadows, trained to kill without hesitation. Xiao Shu He, the sixth prince of the Southern kingdom, was never meant to rule. When the prince saves the assassin from a fatal mission, neither could have foreseen the bond that would defy nations, rules, and the world itself. But love cannot bloom untouched by ambition. To protect Shu He, Ziang makes a choice that changes both their lives forever. The very move fractures their bond and drives him to vanish, the connection buried deep in his heart. Years pass. The winds of war reshape the world. Ziang returns... now as an emperor commanding armies, his path set on uniting the land that once tore them apart. In front of him stands the man he once loved, now wearing a crown that weighs down their long-awaited reunion. Standing across from each other for the first time in years, they must face what was left unsaid. Caught between duty and desire, two hearts will decide the fate of a nation... and their own.
