**Synopsis from the Youku app:**

Blood River is the realm's most feared assassin guild, jointly run by the Su, Mu, and Xie clans. They can strike royals in court and crush great sects in the wild. 

When the patriarch is poisoned on a mission, the three clans vie for the top seat. Su Muyu [played by Gong Jun] leads the Spider-Shadow unit and shields the dying leader on the road to a cure. He clashes with elder Su Zhe [played by Qiao Zhenyu] and old friend Su Changhe [played by Chang Huasen], and meets master healer Bai Hehuai [played by Yang Yutong].

>!After brutal power struggles, Su Changhe becomes [the] new patriarch and Su Muyu heads the Su clan. They launch the "Other Shore Plan" to drag Blood River out of the shadow and forge a new destiny, free from being anyone's blade.!<
