At the end of the ninth century AD, the Tang Dynasty was exhausted, wars broke out, and the world was in constant strife. Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty and established the Later Liang Dynasty. Li Keyong and his son tried to revive the Tang Dynasty, and the land east of Hedong became a battlefield for separatist regimes.
In these troubled times, Li Tianxing, an unknown leader in the Taiyuan army, rose up in the baptism of blood and fire with his family's secrets that had been silent for hundreds of years. He is a descendant of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and carries the blood of Emperor Taizong. However, in the troubled times where power and intrigue are rife, bloodline has never been the basis for survival. Wisdom and military strategy are the foundation of success.
From ordinary soldiers to military elites, from fighting in battles to temple games, he relies on modern strategies and tactics to survive, build prestige, and military exploits in troubled times, and he works step by step to accumulate strength. However, every step he takes is accompanied by temptations and crises - the pressure from the top brass of the military government, the calculations of powerful ministers and generals, and even his colleagues around him may be enemies with hidden murderous intentions.
A mission to escort a prisoner unexpectedly involved him in a game of multi-party forces. He became an outcast and was even forced to bear charges that could not be cleared. In the desperate situation of life and death, he had to hide his name, abandon all glory and blood, change his name to "Zhou Yang", and lurk in the chaotic world.
The former brave general in the army has turned into an exiled guest. He struggles to survive between the temple and the rivers and lakes, and accumulates strength amidst intrigues and betrayals. During this period of anonymity, he learned to tolerate and manipulate people's hearts, and he also saw clearly the true rules of this world.
——Since the world is in constant turmoil, let's write a new chapter with swords! "I am a descendant of Emperor Taizong!"
