Framed by the Fourth Prince and the prime minister, the Sixth Prince Wang Tian is crippled, exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum, and learns his birth mother was murdered. Cornered, he awakens a corpse-loot upgrade system. Exploring ancient imperial tombs, he gains supreme treasures and skyrockets in strength. He subdues the fox clan, allies with the Qilin Pavilion under a new alias, and falls for Yun Qu. Amid brutal royal infighting, as the Fourth Prince seizes the throne and foreign troops invade, Wang Tian returns atop a golden dragon, executing traitors and enemies. He ascends the imperial throne, defends his love against all odds, breaks their ancient fate, and stays with Yun Qu for life.
