A visually stunning wuxia thriller about deception and duality, where a commander manipulates a shadow-double to navigate court intrigue and war, steeped in paranoia and moral ambiguity.

In a kingdom ruled by a young and unpredictable king, the military commander has a secret weapon: a shadow, a look-alike who can fool both his enemies and the King himself. Now he must use this weapon in an intricate plan that will lead his people to victory in a war that the King does not want.
