Features: A history of a family's rise and fall, an unverified Warring States period drama.
After a plane crash, Chu Zheng originally had little hope of survival, but he returned to ancient times and was reborn in the Zhao Kingdom's influential Chu family. His father, Chu Mingtang, was a genius who achieved numerous merits and, after ten years, rose to become the head of the Chu family and was promoted to Grand Tutor of the court. Under his father's influence, Chu Zheng, with the knowledge from the future, gradually stood out among his brothers. He effortlessly tamed the wild horses from the frontier, conquered the Black Banner army with ease, and played with the killer demon with a few tricks. By chance, he advanced in life, and he led the most important secret organization of the Chu family, the Eagle Hall. The princess of the Zhao Kingdom was also infatuated with him.
However, Chu Zheng soon discovered that he had fallen into a conflict with his older brother, Chu Xuan. Faced with family ties, he found himself in a dilemma.
After a period of calm, the strongmen in the Central Plains began to stir. The young ruler of Western Qin reorganized the court, eliminated the corrupt eunuchs, and gathered a massive army of one hundred thousand on the western front of Zhao, creating a tense atmosphere and the imminent prospect of war. Meanwhile, Chu Mingtang, the governor of Pingyuan Commandery, which was the core of Zhao's southern army, was planning an unprecedented battle against the naval forces of the Southern Qi.
This era was destined to produce heroes, and Chu Zheng, born into the influential Chu family of Zhao, was no exception. Although the Chu family was influential, it was not part of the orthodox ruling class in the capital. However, his father, Chu Mingtang, was a genius who, in a battle against the Southern Qi, annihilated one hundred thousand enemies, creating a new era in the history of Northern Zhao and, after several twists and turns, rose to become the head of the Chu family, breaking the two-century-old tradition of the capital's Chu family holding the power of the clan.
Under his father's influence, Chu Zheng, with the knowledge from the future, gradually stood out among his brothers. He effortlessly tamed the wild horses from the frontier, becoming a young hero whom no one in the Black Banner army could match. With his natural talent and diligent practice, he advanced the Dragon and Elephant Suit Magic to the level of a master within a few years. He adopted a strategy of alliances and combinations, weakening traditional powers while continuously expanding his own faction, becoming a renowned young talent in the capital. Other young scions of influential families followed his lead. He led the Eagle Hall, eliminated spies, and saved the emperor. In the midst of changing tides, a hidden dragon emerged from the depths.
