SYNOPSIS
Strange creatures shaped like rats terrorize the imperial capital, leaving destruction and death in their wake. Their appearance resurrects whispers of an ancient dynasty that vanished centuries ago, consumed by thunder and lightning. Someone orchestrated this chaos, but the truth remains buried beneath layers of conspiracy and forgotten history. Jing Yifei commands the elite Jinwu Guard with cold authority, tasked with uncovering what these rat soldiers truly are. Her search intersects with Bai Qi, a reclusive swordsman whose bloodline carries the weight of his clan's legacy, and Qin Ming, a cunning young inventor whose deceptions mask his own hidden agenda. None of them wanted to work together, yet circumstance forces an uneasy alliance. As the trio investigates deeper, they discover the rat soldiers are merely symptoms of something far older and more dangerous. The incidents that destroyed the former dynasty weren't natural disasters but weapons. Someone still possesses the knowledge to wield them, and they're willing to burn the empire again to reclaim what was lost. The three must bridge their conflicting personalities and secretive pasts to survive what comes next.
