How many years does it take to tame a wolf? Ten years or twenty? Thirty years or forty? The Marquis of Dingyuan slaughters wolves in the northern border, only to end up with his family destroyed and his entire clan beheaded, becoming a taboo not to be spoken of in the entire Shunjing. Twenty years later, Helian Zhao, a meritorious military hero, is summoned to the capital. Like a loyal dog on a leash, he crawls beneath the dragon throne, enjoying great popularity. However, he is on bad terms with Chu Mingke, a powerful eunuch beside the emperor. Helian is a tamed wolf, while Chu is a crazy dog. When they meet, they will surely bite each other until they bleed. Everyone says that Chu fabricates false charges and persecutes the loyal and good. He is the worst of the treacherous officials and the greatest of the scourges. But only Chu knows that the sharp-eyed wolf in the north has never been tamed. The same goes for Helian.
