Dayan's Emperor purged officials. Jian, a live-in son-in-law in the Duke Protector's estate, struck the Celestial Drum when his father-in-law, Dominic Sullivan, was framed for treason. At the execution ground, he revealed his identity: son of Crown Prince Aurelius Sterling. Jian broke schemes, overthrew the Eastern Palace, subdued the Northern King, quelled rebellion, becoming Grand Heir. He used a physician's heart to reform the court and rebuild the Dayan Dynasty.
