In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, imperial authority crumbles, warlords rise on all sides, and the four-hundred-year-old Han Dynasty is a mere shadow of its former self.
Liu Chenbei, a transmigrator, is reduced to a down-and-out imperial grandson in Zhuo County, Youzhou. His meridians are completely blocked, leaving him no hope of cultivation. Branded a cripple by the sect, he suffers the abuse of powerful clans and scrapes by in a dilapidated City God temple.
Bullies trample him underfoot, and the world heaps scorn on him. Just as he reaches the brink of despair, the broken jade pendant passed down through his family suddenly awakens.
The dragon aura of the eternal imperial way floods his body, forcefully breaking through his blocked meridians and granting him the power to cultivate. It also awakens divine eyes of fortune, letting him see the blessings and calamities of all people, discern the rise and fall of dynasties, and command the fate of a chaotic age.
The Yellow Turbans are in revolt, Blackwind Stronghold runs rampant, and the Wang family dominates the region. Danger lurks at every turn.
He steps in to help those in need and meets the iron-willed hero Guan Gangyu and the brave warrior Zhang Xiaofei. The three brothers pledge themselves to one another in blood and put down roots amid the chaos.
Others rely on spirit stones and cultivation techniques to advance. He stands firm on the fortune of the Han Dynasty.
Others fight bloody battles for territory. He commands the power of fortune and enjoys undying longevity.
The awakening of a single strand of dragon aura sets a decaying realm ablaze once more.
The fallen imperial grandson Liu Chenbei takes dragon aura as his foundation and fortune as his blade. He gathers heroes, sweeps away treacherous foes, pacifies the chaos, and restores the Han Dynasty, forging a unique path to eternal life as an emperor.
