Description:

Pledge of Allegiance delves into the perilous realm of the Imperial Secret Police. Li Wu, a man of humble origins, is thrust into the feared ranks of the Embroidered Uniform Guards due to a significant misunderstanding. Though he projects an image of being selfish and well-spoken, Li Wu possesses a deep-seated honesty and cherishes the bonds of brotherhood above all else. Within this dangerous environment, he encounters Lu Zheng, an original guard known for his aloof nature and blunt manner of speech.

Despite their stark differences, Li Wu and Lu Zheng forge an unlikely friendship, finding the companionship they both lacked. Together, they navigate the treacherous currents of the imperial court, evolving both personally and professionally. Their bond is tested as they become entangled in a series of complex cases and confront the pervasive, deep-seated hatred that plagues the court. The central question remains: can they unravel these intricate puzzles and uncover the truth without becoming targets themselves in a world rife with conspiracy and danger?
