Ma Chao, a famed general of the Three Kingdoms, is reborn as the second son of Ma Zhi, a Grandee of the Imperial Secretariat in the Northern Song. He is just twenty-one, with a face as fair as if powdered, lips red as if painted, a slim waist and broad shoulders, a booming voice and tremendous strength. Clad in a white robe and silver armor, he looks devastatingly handsome. When it comes to martial arts, he is the best under heaven.
Ma Chao falls in love with the celebrated beauty Li Shishi and, under the identity of His Highness the Prince of Xu, the fourteenth son of the emperor, forms the Loyal and Righteous Army to Defend the Nation and fight the Jin. Upon hearing the news, veteran Northern Song officials Li Gang, Tong Guan, Zong Ze, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, and Han Shizhong rally to his side.
Ma Chao sweeps across the Jurchen, tramples the Mongols, and leads his troops across Europe and Asia, founding the powerful Yan Song Empire. The might of China once more resounds throughout the world...
