Synopsis and Plot Summary
Set towards the end of Sui and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty is a story of intense upheaval that paves the way for a Golden Age under the rule of the Li Imperial Family.
As is often told in history, there is no peace without bloodshed and the story follows a father and son rising above the dangerous and long-drawn battle for power among the nobles and the royals. They wave the banner 'Tang' and established their capital in Chang An. However, favoritism within the family leads to more turmoil between Li Shi Min (Qin Jun Jie) and the Crown Prince Li Jian Cheng (Han Dong). Amidst the political rife, Wei Zheng (Zhang Hanyu) who serves as the Prime Minister remains dedicated to keeping the peace in Chang An. (Source: DramaPanda)
