During the late Qing dynasty, China faced humiliating defeats in battles against foreign powers like Britain and Japan.

Huo Yuan Jia, the son of Huo En Di, goes to Beijing to meet his father's acquaintance, "Great Sword" Wang Wu. Unintentionally, he becomes involved in the events of the Hundred Days' Reform. Wang is a supporter of the reformists and tries to rescue the "Six Gentlemen", who are imprisoned on the orders of Empress Dowager Cixi. Huo decides to help Wang in his mission, but they are unsuccessful, leading to the public execution of the six men and Wang's tragic death later on. Through these events, Huo Yuan Jia realizes the deteriorating condition of China and understands the need for change in order for the country to survive in the future.
