In the troubled times when wars were raging, the protagonist Hu Shi was originally an exiled aristocratic boy. He grew up among the people and witnessed the harm of harsh government. After being unexpectedly welcomed back to the throne, he determined to change and smashed the jade seal symbolizing royal power with his own hands. He declared that "before the law, an orphan is as guilty as the common people." He also pushed forward the New Deal to reduce taxes and abolish torture. However, this touched the interests of centuries-old clans. They united with the envoys of the six countries, formed a secret alliance, and suppressed the border with 300,000 coalition troops. Above the court, the voices of the old forces persuading him to compromise were heard endlessly. Hu Shi, who had returned to the throne for the first time and had an unstable foundation, had to face the doubts and obstacles of the old forces within, and also had to resist powerful foreign enemies in a short period of time. At the same time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty misunderstood that he would become a tyrant because he had been exiled, and they were full of doubts about the New Deal. But relying on the wisdom and determination brought by his previous life, Hu Shi dipped cinnabar in the imperial study room late at night and drew a stunning route on the map. When the enemy's cavalry stepped into the border, what awaited them was a spontaneous assembly of 100,000 Guizhou soldiers. In the end, Hu Shi succeeded in defeating the enemy and stabilizing the New Deal, but he also paid a heavy price in the process.
