A young officer from modern society transmigrates to the Great Long Dynasty and becomes Qian Junjie, the second son of the fabulously wealthy Qian family. While hunting in the mountains, he rescues Princess Song Wanyan of Changning. She had been betrothed to Qian Junjie, but because he spent every day carousing in the pleasure quarters, the emperor and the Qian family called off the engagement. Yet when the transmigrated Qian Junjie meets the princess again, she is captivated by his bearing and handsome looks, and admires his courage and intelligence even more. Qian Junjie, too, wants to reclaim everything that should be his. After he and the princess fall in love, his elder brother, Qian Yingjie, grows secretly jealous and schemes to have him killed. Song Wanshan, the daughter of Prince Jin and a commandery princess, also loves Qian Junjie, setting the two sisters against each other. Aruna, a commandery princess of the Golden Tents tribe, happens to meet Qian Junjie and falls deeply in love with him as well. When his life is threatened, the three women join forces to save him. With the help of the princesses, Qian Junjie gradually makes his way to the center of power at court. Drawing on the qualities of an outstanding modern military officer, he defeats the Di Rong, who have long coveted the Great Long Dynasty. On the night before the emperor is due to die, he unexpectedly passes the throne to Qian Junjie, plunging the already unstable court into even greater peril. With the princesses' help, Qian Junjie gradually secures his throne and launches a western campaign, ushering in a glorious golden age for the Great Long Dynasty.
