Synopsis

The waters of the Gui River cannot wash away old blood debts. A jar of miraculous oil can keep the secrets of a powerful family locked away. The Republic of China is in chaos, the country teetering on the brink of collapse. At the command of his ancestors, the sole surviving heir of the Shi family enters the fray, disguising himself as an anonymous laborer at the Wen family’s oil mill. He appears plain and timid, but in his heart he is plotting a sweeping revenge. The miraculous oil the Wen family prides itself on is both a family treasure and a deadly weapon aimed at their lifeline. Clan infighting, tangled romances, Japanese troops closing in, and the relentless tide of the times all converge. He stakes the rest of his life on his plan for revenge. But when vengeance is complete, will he be able to break free from the shackles of fate?
