After the Eight Kings Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty weakened. With the Xiongnu Liu Yuan destroying the Jin Dynasty and establishing the Han Dynasty, the Five Barbarians invaded China, and the world was in chaos. The descendants of King Liu Jiao of Chu traveled south with the scholar-bureaucrats from the Central Plains. In the north, the five barbarians attacked each other, and in the south, the nobles exploited the people and lived a luxurious and flashy life. In this environment, another founding king of the Liu family - Liu Yu - was born. In that era of foreign invasion and government corruption, Liu Yuping was engaged in civil strife and conquered the Tartars, trying to use his own efforts to change the situation of chaos in the world since the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings". After experiencing various joys and sorrows, Liu Yu gradually grew from a commoner to the founding emperor. This story depicts Liu Yu's tumultuous life from an abandoned child to the founding emperor.
