The late Eastern Han Dynasty: the Yellow Turbans run rampant, and the Han court teeters on the brink of collapse.
Liu Du, a commoner from Lingling, is descended from Liu Fa, Prince Ding of Changsha. Yet because of the liquor-gold scandal a century ago, his family fell into poverty and became ordinary country folk.

Cao Mengde uses the emperor to command the lords? Sun Zhongmou rules the lands east of the Yangtze? Liu Xuande borrows Jingzhou to take Sichuan?
Watch Liu Du, heir to the Han, rise from a corner of southern Jingzhou, recruit fierce generals, secure Jingxiang, conquer the Central Plains, and swallow up the lands south of the Yangtze, before finally setting his sights on Luoyang, restoring the Han Dynasty, and founding an emperor's great legacy!
