In the face of the tides of history, human lives are as insignificant as ants. The Great Yu Dynasty is beset by internal strife and factional infighting. Great clans have joined forces with wealthy local merchants to sell out the country for profit. The military is neglected, the people's lives are in disarray, and the history books praise a golden age that has lasted a thousand years. Ministers conspire to keep the emperor in the dark, while the borders teem with enemies and the seas churn with hidden dangers. The world is on the brink of chaos. I, Ye Yu, was born to a humble family, but I have a three-foot sword and will break the power of these great clans. I will slay the dragon and divide power among the people at the bottom. I came from the bottom myself, and I'll show you what those at the bottom can do. Come on, let's see who has the last laugh.
