During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, vassal towns were divided, the land was full of wars, and the people were in dire straits. The spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty has long since disappeared, and the noble families of the past are either dusty mud or eagle dogs.
Shangguan Yan, the grandson of the late Tang Dynasty general Shangguan Yi, returns, carrying his grandfather's order and a broken "Return to Tang Jade Order", and walks quietly in the troubled times. His mission is to find the remaining four jade orders scattered among the ten countries and collect the complete "Return to Tang Jade Order", so as to call on the "Righteous Men of Futang" who still cherish their homeland to rebuild the country and rebuild the world.
Starting from Bianliang, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, he will be alone, using wisdom and force to overcome life and death difficulties. He will encounter the most loyal betrayal and meet unexpected allies in the most desperate situations. Between the cold swords and the machinations, a touch of unexpected tenderness quietly took root in his scarred heart.
This is a road home paved with blood and fire, and a journey of a lonely soul looking for a home in troubled times. When the name "Yan Gui returns" resounds throughout the world, will he bring back the prosperous Tang Dynasty or an era of his own?
