Nirvana in Fire

The play tells the story of Xiao Pingjing, who is studying in Langya Pavilion, investigating the case of his brother Lin Jun's deputy commander Xiao Pingzhang, which involves the safety of Daliang. The situation in Daliang Dynasty is stable, but fighting continues on the border. The Changlin Army guarding the northern border of Daliang has won many military honors and is famous. During a battle in the northern border, Xun Baishui, the chief minister of the cabinet, secretly cut off the frontline supplies. Xiao Pingzhang (played by Huang Xiaoming), deputy commander of the Changlin Army who was trapped in the battle, was seriously injured. His younger brother Xiao Pingjing (played by Liu Haoran), who was studying in Langya Pavilion, heard the news and went down the mountain to investigate the case. Thirty years ago, neighboring Ye Qin was hit by an epidemic. Daliang closed the national highway to protect itself. Puyang Ying (played by Guo Jingfei) lurked in Daliang out of revenge for the destruction of the country. He colluded with Mo Zihou, the top master on the Langya List and the lord of the East China Sea, to secretly disrupt the Liang Emperor's power and the Changlin Mansion. The two poisoned all over the capital, and the epidemic spread rapidly. Pu Yangying set up a trap and poisoned Xiao Pingjing and Xiao Pingzhang one after another. At this time, the northern border was in critical condition. Xiao Pingzhang gave up treatment and rushed to the front line to support him, but later died of poisoning. A year later, Emperor Liang died and Dayu invaded Daliang. Xun Baishui and Laiyang King Xiao Yuanqi (played by Wu Haochen) coaxed the young Emperor into issuing an edict banning troops on the border. Xiao Ping defied the edict and went out to defeat Dayu, so the Changlin system was abolished. Xiao Yuanqi secretly colluded with Mo Zihou and betrayed the country. In the critical situation, Xiao Pingjing raised his troops to serve the king and rushed to the battlefield to rescue Emperor Liang.
