In the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty, Qiantang surged. The salt owl Qian Liu used his iron and blood tactics to level the two Zhejiang provinces, established the Wuyue Kingdom, established the national policy of "protecting the territory and the people", built seawalls, developed water conservancy, and created a pure land among the separatists. However, Yang Xingmi, the powerful hero in Huainan, is watching with eager eyes. The war in the north continues, and there are secret intrigues within. The prince Qian Yuanguan bears the shame of Runzhou. In the desperate situation of his father being seriously ill, the treasury being empty, and the salt pond collapsing, he uses iron blood and forbearance to deal with the turbulent waves of the Fujian-Vietnam alliance and the Huainan spy war. The third generation Qian Hongchu inherited the ancestral precepts. With the rise of the Northern Song Dynasty, he faced the cruelest choice: should he burn all the mountains and rivers to death, or return to the Song Dynasty to protect the people? Flowers are blooming on the road, and the sail is heading north. It is a majestic epic about a small country's survival, construction, struggle and final peaceful ending in troubled times. It is a tragic echo of the righteousness of family and country, the glory of human nature and the destiny of history.
