After witnessing a shooting murder, Jiang Cheng's sense of justice led him to take the eldest son of the wealthy Liu family to court. But through the Liu family's influence, he was instead framed and sent to prison for three years.
When he got out three years later, he discovered that his girlfriend was about to marry the murderer who had framed him!
So what if foreign powers were backing the man?
With no way forward, the wealthy colluding with foreigners and throwing their weight around, and the poor left with nowhere to stand, what point was there in preserving this rotten order?
In prison, Jiang Cheng had learned many skills. He brought together like-minded allies and vowed to fight for a peaceful, just future for the ordinary people of this country.
