Dastardly thieves hatch a murderous plan in a quiet, sleepy town. They plot to seize a box containing a powerful weapon that has the potential to bestow its bearer with devastating powers. But when they finally get their hands on the precious box, it proves to be empty, and they are mysteriously executed. Long Yao is high-born royalty – but he is also a fearsome warrior, a skilled martial artist, and a tireless believer in justice. He decides to embark on an undercover mission to find out what has happened to the weapon and the thieves who tried to seize it. His quest leads him to cross paths with Shi Jing Yao, a lowly town investigator. At first, Long Yao suspects Shi Jing Yao of having a role in the killings… but soon realizes that he is innocent and could actually become a very powerful ally indeed. Also on the hunt for their own forms of justice are Li Huang Wu, a fierce, self-styled warrior queen who has turned outlaw on a mission to avenge the death of her father – and Zhao Ge, an ambitious woman who wields fearsome magical powers.

Need a second season

The story is nothing extraordinary, but well executed. The actors have done a very good job. The male leads have really good chemistry that is shot through the roof in the last episodes.
The female leads/ supports have actual contribution in the story and not annoying characters who only bates their eyes and create nothing but trouble. They are kind of badasses too. There are hints of romance but nothing that derails the feel and flow of the story.
As the series progresses, it goes on becoming more interesting. There are scenes in a few episodes that I fast forwarded and missed nothing, but overall, it is engaging. Even with a cliche mystery, it actually have a good ending.
And the series actually gives hint of a following season at the end of the last episode and I hope they make it soon.

A series well worth a second season

This series never felt cheaply made, a few scenes could have been better and some of the characters could have been a bit more developed, but overall the story was a great one. I really didn't like one of the MLs at first but his character developed very nicely throughout the story. The acting was really good, some were over the top but it was intentional for some of the characters, some used lightly here. There were some characters or acting of certain characters that I could have gone without but I watched this for the MLs and I was not disappointed in them.

The opening and ending song was beautiful. I love the ending and though I wish it was slightly longer and some of the scenes extended it was a great run. Really hoping they have a second season. I would love to see more stories on the two MLs, the emperor being my favorite of course. :) This is bromance but one can also categorize it as censored romance, you just have to look to find the subtle hints which are just too cute.
