After the Chongzhen Emperor took his own life, a bloody upheaval in the Forbidden City brought the Ming dynasty to its final collapse. The sole surviving prince, Wei Haotian, escaped the capital under the protection of a loyal eunuch and began a life in exile under an assumed name. To restore the dynasty, he ventured into the martial world, learned martial arts, and steadily built up his strength. In secret, he founded the Tiandihui, dedicated to overthrowing Manchu rule.
As the years passed, Wei Haotian gradually made a name for himself in the martial world, but his rise was accompanied by countless schemes and assassination attempts. His goal never changed: to topple the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming. After decades of struggle, the Tiandihui secretly intervened in court power struggles, assassinated Qing officials, and even played a crucial role in the succession struggle among the nine princes.
Wei Haotian’s grandson inherited the family’s cause and continued to steer the wheels of history from behind the scenes. By chance, he became the power behind the Yongzheng Emperor, helping him seize the throne in the struggle among the nine princes. Through the efforts of two generations, the Tiandihui’s fate was destined to become a legendary tale written in blood and fire.
