The first season of "The Eighth Route Army" depicts Zhu Yuanzhang's transformation from a beggar to a leader of the rebel army. He went through family changes due to drought, became a monk in Huangjue Temple, joined the army in Haozhou, married into the Ma family, and gathered twenty-four generals in Huaixi, and finally conquered Jinling and laid the foundation for his hegemony. The second season of "Hongwu Establishment" focuses on the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the promulgation of the "Great Ming Law", the establishment of the Weisuo system, the deposing of the prime minister and the execution of Hu Weiyong, showing the establishment of the system and the power game. The third season of "Sunset Peak" goes deep into the mood of old age. Empress Ma died of illness, Prince Zhu Biao died young, and the heroes of the Lan Yu case were eliminated. The transfer of power was completed amidst loneliness and struggle, and finally became the legend of a generation of emperors. The whole play takes history as its bones and human nature as its soul, recreating the epic picture of the turbulent times in the early Ming Dynasty.
