Return to Sui Dynasty

In the thirteenth year of the great cause, Luoyang was covered with snow and beacon smoke spread all over the world. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty failed miserably in his three expeditions to Goguryeo. The Grand Canal was a waste of money and people, and sycophants such as Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji came to power and framed Zhongliang. As a result, the former Situ Gaojun was wronged, and the whole world was filled with refugees and his bones were exposed in the wild. Shen Yan, the anonymous grandson of Gao Jiong, was burdened with the blood feud of all the loyalists in his family. He sneaked into the East Palace in the name of "Su Yan", a scholar from a poor family, and embarked on the road of revenge. He was not alone: Qin Feng, the refugee leader who gathered in Julu Mountain, led his troops to harass the Sui army's food route in order to protect his neighbors and avenge his brother; Chen Mo, a taciturn arms craftsman, was wronged by Xue's father and turned his unique skills into crossbow explosives to create a weapon to defeat the enemy; Sitting in the old army in the south of the Yangtze River, it is difficult to find a clear path; Liu Yao, an intelligence prodigy who travels among the powerful in Chang'an, uses a brothel as a cover to collect evidence of the crimes of sycophants in the sensuality of dogs and horses; and Wang Tong, a great scholar, is guided by Wang Tong, who cares about the common people in the world, and enlightens the maze, connecting these five men with different identities and obsessions to form a secret revenge alliance. Above the court, Shen Yan used his authority in the East Palace to instigate an internal fight between Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji, stirred up the emperor's suspicion with a forged secret letter of collaboration with the enemy, and fought every step of the way in a war of words; outside the battlefield, Qin Feng charged into battle, Chen Mo cleverly set up traps, Liu Yao secretly passed on information, and Chen Ziyu contacted the Jiangnan nobles. They lurked, formed alliances, or made surprise attacks, pushing each enemy to the abyss of destruction. From the Hanyuan dormancy in Luoyang to the borrowed knife killings in Jiangdu Palace, from the gratification of the decisive battle in Wei County to the life-and-death game of the Central Plains, these men use wisdom as their blade and loyalty as their armor, supporting each other in the intrigue and intrigue, and forging a life-and-death bond in the tempering of blood and fire. However, the road to revenge is never easy. When Yu Wenhuaji's blade was stained with blood, Emperor Sui Yang died and the country was destroyed, and the end of revenge was in sight, ideological differences within the alliance suddenly broke out - Chen Ziyu was addicted to power and wanted to regain the old dream of the Southern Dynasty, and severed ties with his allies; Shen Yan struggled between hatred and justice, and gradually understood that in addition to "blood debts, blood debts", there is also the heavy responsibility of "saving people from water and fire". With the rise of Li Tang, the separatist regime of Dou Jiande, and the chaos of the world divided into three parts, they not only have to face the siege of powerful external enemies, but also resolve internal rifts and betrayals. This is a tragic epic that begins with hatred, and is also an ultimate choice about fate and life. When the obsession for revenge meets the righteousness of family and country, when brotherhood collides with ambition for power, these men, burdened with blood and tears, will eventually write their own redemption and legend on the ashes of the late Sui Dynasty - or assist the sage and create a prosperous age; or stick to the original intention and protect one party; or return to the dust and leave their names in history. Troubled times are ruthless, but loyalty has a soul. "Return to the Sui Dynasty from Ashes" witnesses a group of men searching for light in the darkness, moving forward in despair, taking revenge as the guide and loyalty as the backbone, and finally becomes a swan song of the troubled times that will be passed down through the ages. Intent: The deconstruction of revenge, the symbiosis of loyalty and redemption
