In the thirteenth year of Longshun, the Chen Dynasty had an undercurrent. The emperor was seriously ill, the kings of Jin and Chu coveted the throne, the prince was weak, and the court became a tripartite force. The protector of the country, Qi Zhongyuan, wants to bring his third son, Qi Wenhe, into the game to stabilize the family's status with the power of father and son.
Seventeen-year-old Qi Wenhe has both elegance and sharpness. He understands the pros and cons of the current situation but cannot hide his youthful spirit. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, he stood up for his friends and confronted the servants of the Marquis of Changxing, showing off his skillful skills.
