One after another, numerous mysteries that were not revealed in the first season emerge, and Fan Xian approaches the heart of the matter. Enjoy the highly anticipated, evolved second season. Synopsis On the day they set out on their journey at dawn, Fan Xian and Yan Bingyun are attacked by an assassin and find themselves standing back to back. “Are you confident you can take my life?” Fan Xian taunts Yan Bingyun, who, without a moment’s hesitation, raises his sword and, coldly, declares, “This is my decision,” delivering a single slash from behind. Fan Xian coughs up blood and collapses, but it was all part of an elaborate scheme hatched by Yan Bingyun. Fan Xian secretly returns to the capital with his confidant, Wang Qinian, and goes into hiding for a while. Meanwhile, news of Fan Xian’s death spreads rapidly throughout the country, sending the Qing Empire’s imperial palace into a tailspin. However, the second prince quickly discovers that the death was faked and has set up elaborate traps both inside and outside the palace to capture Fan Xian. Fan Xian is cornered by the “great sin of cheating death.” However, believing that a desperate situation offers a way out, he sticks to his beliefs and justice and faces the test of his destiny.
