Episode 1 recap: Zichuan Xiu fell victim to a conspiracy.

Every time, Zichuan Kingdom is engaged in battles with other regions. The conflicts in their area never cease and every time it's the ordinary people who suffer. This has caused widespread complaints and grievances. At this moment, the leader of the Northern tribe suddenly led his soldiers to attack near Zichuan Kingdom. The soldiers on the other side immediately reported this bad news.

Upon learning about this, Vice Leader Baichuan, Luo Jie, and Mingyu became anxious and uneasy. However, the main figurehead still hadn't appeared on the scene. As the commander of the Northern tribe, the first fierce general, he was confident about this battle and believed he could win. But during the fight, a masked person suddenly appeared in front of General Geshah of the Northern tribe. Seeing the loss of strength in their leader, the other soldiers from the Northern tribe began to panic and retreat. Seeing this situation, Baichuan and the others standing nearby initially thought it was a plot from the enemy's side. They decided to stay put and discuss with Zichuan Xiu (played by Yang Xuwen) on how to proceed. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zichuan Xiu showed an indifferent attitude, which angered the people around him. He directly led his subordinates to chase down the remnants of the Northern tribe.

After successfully defeating them, Zichuan Xiu was still among the defeated soldiers. He saw the Northern tribe's princess, Kadan, and when he noticed the people around preparing to harm her, he felt that she was innocent and without hesitation, he approached her, pretending to be intimate, making everyone believe that he liked her. In this way, he saved her.

When Baichuan was interrogating a prisoner from the Northern tribe alone in the prison, he didn't receive any useful information from the prisoner. As a result, he misunderstood Zichuan Xiu and started feeling displeased with him. Although he couldn't comprehend why Zichuan Xiu stopped pursuing, he believed that he must have had his own meaningful reasons.

On the other side, the maid next to them informed Zichuan Ning about the situation regarding the gift sent by the other side. To their surprise, the gift turned out to be a dead scorpion. Although the people around were murmuring, they still accepted the gift. It turned out that Zichuan Ning and Zichuan Xiu had grown up together since childhood, which made Zichuan Ning constantly hold a special place in his heart.

While Zichuan Xiu was gathering with his other close friends, he suddenly remembered an incident that happened seven years ago. It was because of that major battle that Zichuan Ning managed to protect the entire Zichuan, but he was falsely accused by Yang Minghua. Yang Minghua even attempted to take his life and put him in a life-threatening situation. Thanks to the help of his relatives, Zichuan Xiu managed to survive and escape.

On the other hand, Emperor Lin (played by Liu Yuning) had the task of capturing Zichuan. However, privately, the two of them were close friends. After being coordinated and captured, they even planned together on how to deal with the enemy. Later, the three of them began discussing how to deal with Yang Minghua, and with the loud proclamation of the people around them, they achieved the desired result. As a result, the enemy dared not make any reckless moves against Zichuan.

The next morning, Yang Minghua pondered and came up with a malicious plan. He planned to continue framing Zichuan with the crime of treason and selling out the country, so that he would have a reason to put Zichuan in a life-threatening situation.
