All his life, Duan Ling has been an unwanted child. Abandoned as an infant, he has grown up scrabbling for scraps in the dirt, beaten and abused by his adoptive family. Yet everything changes the day a stranger arrives at the Duan estate, claiming to have been sent by Duan Ling's father.

Duan Ling finds himself following the mysterious Lang Junxia into a dangerous world of power and politics far beyond his childish understanding. All he knows is that Lang Junxia never lies, and that he has promised Duan Ling's father will someday come for him. On that day, Duan Liang must be prepared for a destiny far greater than he knows--one that will shake the world.
