"Unorganized truth will be defeated by systematic evil"
A truly phenomenal drama begins with the massacre of Marshal Lin Xie and the Lin family, along with his 70,000 Chiyan army soldiers, in sixth-century China under the regime of the Emperor of Great Liang.
Mei Chang Su, an outstanding and brilliant strategist from the pugilistic world, returns to the capital with a secret plan after being recruited by two favored princes. He chooses to assist the unfavored Prince Jing in rising to the throne and reopening the massacre case. Mei Chang Su believes that to stop the corrupt princes, they must use the same ruthlessness that the princes employed, promising that “we will use whoever we need” to minimize harm. A huge storm is now brewing in Jinling.
Many schemes unfold until the time when an ex-lieutenant of the Chiyan army is captured, creating discord between the male leads. Jingyan wants to uphold his virtues to save him, but Mei Chang Su insists on not getting involved. He states, “The prince has honor and loyalty, but he does not use his brain. The massacre in Meiling is quite enough as an example of loyalty without strategy.”
It is a road with no turning back—a bloodshed battle filled with manipulation. The dream is to reveal the truth of the massacre, but the main goal is to bring a virtuous ruler to the kingdom. A corrupt court will fail to bring justice for the past massacre because the current emperor will never admit his past errors.
The most amazing aspect of this drama is that it fulfills the audience with just one OST and encourages them to be patient, sitting through all 56 episodes without skipping a minute. Because if you do, you will miss very important strategies by Mei Chang Su, a divine talent Marshal Lin Xie.
