At the end of the Dasheng Dynasty, the emperor was ignorant, and the eunuch Huo Zheng controlled the court. In the name of "suppressing demons," he imposed extortionate taxes and extorted money. Nine towns in the world were divided, and the people were in dire straits. In Hanzhou, Beiyuan, the wealthy Li family was wiped out overnight, leaving only an infant who was abandoned and buried in a mass grave - with a red moon birthmark on his forehead. On the day of his birth, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the Qintian Prison secretly announced: "The red light invades the throne of the emperor, and the powerful ministers will rise."
Ten years later, young Li Xiao returned from the wilderness. He looks at the world with a cold eye and has a burning heart. He is not only familiar with poetry and strategy, but also is familiar with the power of a sword. From being a lowly official in Hanzhou to being in charge of the powerful Xuanjia soldiers, from serving the emperor to order the princes, to conquering the eight wastelands in the north and frightening Baiyue in the south, he rebuilt the order with iron and blood, tore apart the alliance with his ingenuity, and even suffered the biggest defeat in his life on the banks of the Chilan River. That night, the fire reflected the river, burning not only the warships, but also his obsession with the "mandate of destiny".
He favored poor families, promoted reclamation, and established the Xuan Kingdom, but he also killed people and talented people in his dreams. He paid little attention to his funeral orders, distributed incense to his concubines, and did not ascend the throne before his death, but he laid the foundation stone for the new dynasty. The world calls him a "hero", respects him as "the reincarnation of Wei Wu", and fears him as "he would rather lose the world". But only he himself knows: this life is just trying to catch a ray of light that will not be swallowed up in the abyss of troubled times.
