Taking "from nine deaths to ninety-five greatness" as the timeline, the soul bond between Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma is written, which "begins in the smoke of adversity and ends in thousands of miles of mountains and rivers". Breaking the cold feeling of the imperial drama's machinations, the main theme is "The iron-blooded emperor has only one weakness, and this weakness is his kingdom." The early stage is about the street fireworks of the "mud-legged man" and the "big-footed girl", the middle stage is about the side-by-side fighting of "generals and counselors", and the late stage is about the balance of power from "king and ministers" to "husband and wife".
