Yang Yong, the prince of the Sui Dynasty, was framed by his younger brother Yang Guang and the powerful official Yang Su. He drowned himself in the Weishui River in despair due to his parents' suspicion. He was only 23 years old. His soul went through reincarnation and was reincarnated as Yang Yanping, the eldest son of Yang Ye, a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Yang Guang was reincarnated as Yang Yanding, his second son. The netherworld reveals the cause and effect of past lives: Yang Yong is actually the body of Emperor Ziwei, while Yang Guang is the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun. During the thousand-year reincarnation, the brothers have repeatedly become enemies. In the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yang brothers joined hands to fight against the Liao Dynasty. Yang Yanping was calm and wise in commanding the central army. Yang Yanding abandoned his calculations and charged into the battle. However, in the battle of Chenjiagu in the third year of Yongxi reign, he drank poisoned wine and died to save his father Yang Ye, reappearing the tragedy of drowning himself in the previous life.
Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty and Empress Dugu witnessed the tragedy of their eldest son in the underworld, and regretted their reliance on slander and harsh treatment of their parents and children; Yang Su, Yu Wenhua and their souls were cast into the animal realm, reincarnated as pawns of the Liao army, and eventually died at the hands of the Yang family generals. Yang Yong's death triggered a chain reaction: although Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was burdened with the shadow of his brother's murder. Li Yuan secretly collected evidence to expose the conspiracy, and finally overthrew the Sui Dynasty and established the Tang Dynasty, for Yang Yong. In the underworld, Yang Yong conversed with tragic figures such as Fu Su and Qu Yuan, using black humor to deconstruct the absurdity of the power struggle. After his soul transcended, he conspired with his reincarnated brothers to break the situation and vowed to rewrite his destiny in the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The story interweaves palace intrigues, reincarnation, cause and effect, and the righteousness of family and country, revealing the distortion of human nature by power, the fragility and rebirth of family ties, and finally the Yang family's passionate resistance to the Liao Dynasty and the Netherworld Trial to liquidate their sins and complete the struggle and redemption of fate.
