Every baby born with the destiny of an emperor is taken away by a physiognomist sent by the court, never to be heard from again. Only Liu Shifang escaped that fate. Not only did he live to the age of eighteen, but he also made a group of good friends, each with a distinct personality. As Liu Shifang's origins come to light, the court's persecution and pursuit follow close behind. With help from his friends and the members of the Xiang Clan, who risked their lives years ago to save him, Liu Shifang comprehends the Way of Heaven and Earth and masters the Xiang Clan's Eight Ghost-Hand Arts. He overthrows Emperor Chaozong's dynasty, and in the end, helps everyone achieve their aims.
