Synopsis
In the closing days of the 19th century, an imperial order decrees the mass execution of the entire Meng clan. At the execution, the power and purity of a young child's voice soars above the crowd, touching the hearts of his audience. Opera star Yu and his seven-year-old orphaned pupil, Guan, watch and listen. Moved by his desolation, Yu rescues the five-year-old child, Meng, and the two orphans become brothers. Yu wins the coveted golden "Da Wu Sheng" ("The Mightiest Warrior") plaque from the Prince Regent but loses it in battle with his arch rival Yue Jiang Tian and is banished from the stage. He spends his time training Guan and Meng in Peking Opera and martial arts, perfecting their skills until one day the only thing that stands between them and the coveted plaque is each other. Guan's heart is set on winning the title from the man who defeated his master, whilst Meng's heart is set on capturing the affections of Yue's lover, Xi. What follows is a sweeping story of love, lust for power, betrayal, vengeance and finally tragedy ...
