Storyline
Hu Ge as Mei Changsu (real identity Lin Shu) plots his way up in the palace in order to seek justice for his families. They were being framed as traitors years ago by political rivals.
Prince Jing (Wang Kai) has always trusted that Chiyan Army (led by Lin's family) will never betray the country. He is a childhood friend of Lin Shu.
When Lin Shu re-appears as Mei Changsu, he had a face change. This was due to him being poisnoned by Bitter Flame. In order to keep his life, he undergoes a treatment which weakens his health tremendously.
Mei Changsu only has less than three months to live since he used up too much strength. He did not rest even a bit but continuously helping Prince Jing in removing his obstacles.
After Lin's families are cleared of their names, Northen Wei starts to invade Liang Dynasty. Mei Changsu leads an army to battle with them but did not make it back.
When Prince Jing becomes Emperor Jing, he names an army as Chang Lin Army, in honour of Mei Changsu and Lin Shu.
My View
Prince Jing is really slow-witted like he is the last person who finds out about Mei Changsu's identity.
This drama is a battle of wits with lots of power struggle. Not too bad and I intend to re-watch it again.
