Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Ching alters the succession plan, appointing the third prince, Xuanye, who subsequently becomes the new Kangxi Emperor Chan. Blazing with anger and resentment over losing his birthright, Fuquan Kenneth Ma refuses to accept this defeat quietly. In a desperate bid for vengeance and power, Fuquan Kenneth Ma dispatches a highly skilled spy, Nip Dorpo Steven Ma, into the palace.
