In another world, Shang-Yi Island, a territory nobody has successfully traveled into, relies on the Imperial Guard to ensure the safety of its citizens.
Nineteen-year-old Qian Yuxi is the newly appointed Imperial Guard and rumoured lover of the island king Du Hui. But when Du Hui sends her on a mission to exterminate the forces of evil attacking the civilians over the island, she has to answer that call of duty.
To help her with the mission, she hires two mercenaries, the amorous runaway prince Zhan Peng, who hides his identity from everyone else, and his sworn brother Yang Tian.
Both men come to the island for a reason: Zhan Peng wishes to escape the overbearing rules of the Longsu palace, and Yang Tian seeks to find the answers to his identity after developing amnesia, and his only clues about his mother lead him to Shang-Yi.
But what happens when both men fall for the same woman?
And what is the secret that Yuxi tries to hide when she insists she doesn't know Zhan Peng, when he claims to have had a wild night with her three months ago?
