Following the transformation of the Gengzi Kingdom, China's land was left in ruins, prompting a group of ambitious young individuals to rise up and defend their homeland. Among them were aristocrat Liang Xiang, revolutionary Yang Kai Zhi, and Beiyang Wuyou Guardian Li Ren Jun, who were among the first progressive youths to travel to Japan for education at a non-commissioned officer's school. It was during their journey on a cruise ship that they crossed paths with revolutionary exiles Yu Tian Bai and Qiu Hong, leading to a fateful connection between the five individuals. In Tokyo, they encountered various ideological movements, ultimately choosing to pursue justice, love, and the revitalization of China. Upon their return, Liang Xiang sought to develop the country and strengthen the military, but found himself ensnared in power struggles and ultimately retreated from the spotlight. Kai Zhi's victory in Yanji against Japanese imperialism earned him the title of "hero of the border defense." The factions of the revolutionary party, constitutionalists, and Beiyang continued to clash, culminating in the Revolution of 1911 which saw the overthrow of the longstanding old order. Inspired by this new era, individuals like Qiu Hong and Yang Yi Fan recognized the need for China's revival and continued to champion the cause of national rejuvenation.
