The Middle Plain is rich and vast, the Song Empire stretching across it is powerful, and the power of its young Emperor Renzong is great. Great, but fragile - hostile kingdoms gather troops on the borders, and free people create lawlessness and sow confusion. But difficult times give birth to heroes, and in this difficult time for the Celestial Empire, bright stars of extraordinary destinies light up in its firmament.

The heir to the Murong clan from Gusu, the skillful and cunning Murong Fu, is overwhelmed by a thirst for great deeds. Which of them will shine over the world, giving descendants hope and inspiration for many centuries with the light of their deeds, and which, crossing out the heavens like a fast meteor, will fade away forever? Only the gods know.
