Ming Shu, a history prodigy from Peking University, comes into possession of a mysterious Big Dipper bracelet by chance. Through a twist of fate, the bracelet suddenly blazes with light, and Ming Shu's soul transmigrates into the body of Xiong Ming, a spoiled young noble in Ying, the capital of Chu. A seven-star birthmark on his left hand resonates with the bracelet, burning like fire. Within this still-growing twelve-year-old body lies a soul from a thousand years in the future, beginning a journey through time where destinies intertwine.
The seven kingdoms vie for supremacy, and tensions run high. Wei holds the Nine Tripod Cauldrons and harbors grand ambitions, eyeing the whole realm; Han flaunts its ingenious repeating crossbows, tearing through enemy formations. In a dense forest, Xiong Ming saves Xia Miaoyun, the last princess of the Great Xia dynasty, from Wei cavalry pursuing her. The Black Bird emblem in her arms glimmers with a mysterious light, concealing secrets that seem endless.
Xiong Ming sneers. Now that he is in this troubled age, he will use modern knowledge to stir up the world. He studies the stars to predict droughts and floods, making plans for Chu's development; he improves the repeating crossbow to intimidate Han's envoy and display Chu's military might. At court, his sharp arguments drive away Wei's envoy after three pointed questions. In hidden alleyways, he carefully assembles the Seven Sons of the Big Dipper to control a spy network. Xia Miaoyun knows the secrets of the previous dynasty and becomes a trusted ally in helping him make Chu dominant over all the realms.
This is the legendary adventure of a historian and a last princess, a fierce clash between modern thinking and ancient political intrigue. See how Xiong Ming wields wisdom as his blade amid the chaos of the Warring States, competes for supremacy, achieves the ambition of unifying the realm, and writes a different chapter in the history of Chinese civilization.
