Zhao Hailong, a young man from the mountains, has been trained to be a man of bronze skin and iron bones for eighteen years, but because his grandfather left without saying goodbye, he entered the world with a bronze medal that concealed the "Secrets of 1898". From the wolf siege and gambling turmoil in Yichun, Jiangxi, to the gang infighting in Shanghai's Shili Foreign Market, the undercurrent of the French Concession, and then to the life-and-death struggle in Huangshan's secrets, he was trapped in the vortex of the three forces of the Youth Gang, the Japanese, and the Revolutionary Party, breaking the situation with his extraordinary martial arts, and winning the life-and-death game with his extraordinary hearing.
Three secret maps reveal the martial arts classics and reform secrets of the top martial artist in the late Qing Dynasty; the flash of swords and shadows along the way bear witness to the grudges and righteousness of the family and country in troubled times. He met loyal allies, suffered treacherous betrayal, lost his ignorance in the blood and fire, and transformed from a young boy in the mountains into a knight in the rivers and lakes who protects national treasures.
From the Yichun teahouse to the Huangpu River, from the password puzzle of HSBC Bank to the government formation at Tiandu Peak in Huangshan Mountain, murderous intent is hidden in every step, and every game is a matter of life and death. When the secret truth is gradually revealed, he will finally make a choice between personal grudges and national justice, and use his youth and blood to write his own legend of the world.
