Xie Li (Xie Yunfu): A glutton of unfathomable skill and striking beauty.
Chu Xiao (Chu Yuanshen): A once aloof, now retired general, and a doting husband bestowed with the title of Prince of Chu.
It is said that there are five ancient divine artifacts in the world. People know only their locations and names, and nothing else.
One of them, the Purple Stone, is in the hands of Xie Li (Xie Yunfu) of Lixiao Island in the South Sea. Little does anyone know that to Xie Li, it is merely a stone he has played with since childhood.
While traveling to gain experience, Xie Li passed through Nanjun City and met Chu Xiao (Chu Yuanshen), a retired general. The two started off on the wrong foot. Chu Xiao rose to fame at a young age. After pacifying the realm, Emperor Liang Wen made him Prince of Chu, stripped him of most of his military authority, and granted him Nanjun City as his fief.
Many years have passed. The princes have come of age and are fighting for power, foreign tribes have recovered and are preparing to invade again, and both Emperor Liang Wen and the various martial arts factions are scrambling to obtain the divine artifacts.
Xie Li and Chu Xiao are drawn into the chaos.
