The animated adaptation of "The Flames of War in March" is currently airing. By a twist of fate, Zheng Shaopeng, a philanthropist who has lived nine lifetimes, returns to the Zhengde era of the Ming Dynasty.

The power struggles between the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, Inner Depot, and Outer Court; the story of imperial envoys eliminating corrupt officials; the suppression of Japanese pirates, the expulsion of the Tatars, the annihilation of the Duzhang barbarians, and the great battle against the Portuguese; the lifting of the maritime ban and the migration to Siberia… a series of exciting stories unfold… The fate of a nation and an individual is like a ship in the long river of history. Because of his unexpected appearance, will this giant ship, which was originally destined to decline, deviate from its course?
