Description:
Zhan Hao was a decorated frontier general of the Great Song dynasty, a man who loved his country and its people. Never did he imagine that one day the blade he used to slay enemies on the battlefield would have to be turned against his own countrymen—all because a foolish emperor, having squandered the national treasury, coveted an iron mine and wished to seize it for nearby mining and smelting to meet urgent military needs.
Under the pressure of three secret edicts, Zhan Hao was forced to massacre Zhao Family Village, which refused to give up the iron mine. Show more His pregnant wife rushed to stop him but was killed by mistake; before dying, she gave birth to a son, who was rescued by county magistrate Fang Zi-An, named Fang Xu, and raised as his own flesh and blood. Because Fang Zi-An took a petition signed by thousands of citizens to the capital to appeal to the emperor, the massacre caused an uproar throughout the court and the land, and Zhan Hao was forced to become the emperor's scapegoat. He was imprisoned for treason, and the entire Zhan clan was exterminated. Zhan Hao, who barely escaped with his life, broke into the crown prince's palace and took away the eldest imperial grandson, who was about to be killed, naming him Yu Huo-Lian. From then on, he vowed to use a hand of imperial blood to overthrow the Song court.
Twenty years later, the crown prince ascended the throne as Emperor Ren-Zong. Yu Huo-Lian won first place in the imperial examination in one stroke, entered official service, and met and fell in love with Fang Li, the daughter of Fang Zi-An, who was now the censor-in-chief. Meanwhile, Fang Xu, raised by Zi-An, had grown into an open-hearted, upright man who hated evil as his enemy. While helping his father investigate cases, he turned from enemies into friends with Li Bai, the leading courtesan of the capital's foremost brothel, Yuxiang Zhai, and they grew to love each other.
Huo-Lian and Fang Xu were equals in martial arts and kindred in temperament, and because of Fang Li they became close friends who admired each other. At the same time, cases of murdered court officials kept occurring. Under the investigation of Bao Zheng, the newly appointed prefect of Kaifeng, the clues finally pointed to a mysterious rebel organization called Wujian Dao and its leader, the Earth Store King. Fang Xu, ordered by the emperor to fake patricide, fled for his life and was taken in by Wujian Dao. He gradually penetrated the organization's core, but suffered endless grievances because of it, and his romance with Li Bai went through one twist after another, enduring many trials.
Huo-Lian came with the mission of overthrowing the Song dynasty, but discovered that Emperor Ren-Zong, Zi-An, Bao Zheng, and the others were not as brutal as he had imagined. Yet his father's command was hard to defy, and Huo-Lian was constantly torn by contradiction and agony. Fortunately, with Fang Li's strength and support, he was able to overcome one psychological hurdle after another.
Fang Xu was increasingly appreciated and promoted by the Earth Store King, while the unrestrained Huo-Lian also won Emperor Ren-Zong's appreciation and tolerance. The two pairs of fathers and sons, unaware of their blood ties, weathered a storm of grievances and conflicts, each struggling against the other.
In the end, through the investigations of Bao Zheng and Fang Xu, the truth came to light: the Earth Store King was none other than the former great general Zhan Hao, and also Fang Xu's biological father. Though Fang Xu was able to reclaim his ancestry and was renamed Zhan Zhao, Zhan Hao, in order to let the thousands of followers who had followed him disperse and return to their fields, chose to take his own life without complaint or regret.
Though Huo-Lian was of imperial blood, Emperor Ren-Zong, for the sake of the court and the nation, could not expose the former emperor's crimes, nor could he let Huo-Lian return to the palace. Although the Zhan clan's twenty-year-old injustice was finally redressed, many regrets could no longer be mended.
