Synopsis and Plot Summary
Set under the reign of Emperor Zhezong of Song, the story revolves around the experiences of Qiao Feng, leader of the beggar clan, Duan Yu, a prince of Dali and Xu Zhu, a Shaolin monk. The three protagonists become sworn brothers during their journey in the pugilistic world.
Qiao Feng (Tony Yang) is the courageous leader of the beggar clan. Many look up to him as a hero for defending the people of Song. When Qiao Feng is accused of being of Khitan descent and labelled a traitor, he is shunned by his fellow martial artists. In Qiao Feng's quest to clear his name, he comes to learn the truth about his identity and meets the love of his life. He also crosses paths with Dali prince Duan Yu (Bai Shu) and Shaolin monk Xu Zhu (Zhang Tianyang).
Duan Yu is a cheerful and bright young prince of Dali. Because of his peace-loving tendencies, he runs away to avoid being forced to learn martial arts but ends up inadvertently mastering powerful martial arts techniques. Successively, he meets Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling and falls deeply in love with Wang Yuyan (Janice Man) and her godlike beauty. However, Wang Yuyan only has eyes for her cousin Murong Fu (Gao Taiyu) which complicates their relationship.
Shaolin monk Xu Zhu is innately pure. After being guided by a martial arts master, he also becomes a powerful martial artist. It starts the kind-hearted monk on an adventure he never imagined for himself. Caught in the conflict between Song and Liao, three intertwining stories are brought together in a story about their heroism.
