Xue Ying Territory, a modest lordship in the peaceful Tranquil Sun province of the empire, is the residence of the Dong Bo clan, to which our hero Xue Ying belongs. His father, once a commoner but elevated to nobility, his mother, a noble who left her clan for love, and his young and blameless brother also reside in the territory. However, tranquility is fleeting as Xue Ying's serene existence is shattered, and he must wield power to regain it.
