In the last years of Wanli, six-year-old orphan Yu Ling was forced to get involved in the whirlpool of the times. He went from being the lowest-ranking soldier in the frontier army and becoming the champion of the Golden Palace, and finally became an important minister supporting the crisis. In the troubled times where the eunuchs are rampant, the Jurchens are rising, and the court is corrupt, Yu Ling is like a tempered sharp blade, trying to cut through the chaos - rectifying the capital camp, implementing the New Deal, and lifting the sea ban. But this is not only a legend of counterattack, but also an idealist's tragedy. When he fights against the entire fallen world with his flesh and blood, the ultimate question to be answered is, can personal belief awaken a dynasty destined to overthrow?
