The story takes place during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. Yu Wanting and Wen Tailai (played by Ray Lui), the leaders of the Red Flower Society, hold the secret of Emperor Qianlong's (played by Chen Zhaorong) life experience, and attempt to blackmail Emperor Qianlong to support the Red Flower Society to restore the Ming Dynasty. However, Emperor Qianlong sent Zhang Zhaozhong to raid the two, and Yu Wanting died, while Wen Tailai was imprisoned. Chen Jialuo (played by Zhao Wenzhuo) is Yu Wanting's adopted son. In grief and anger, he vows to rescue Wen Tailai, who is about to be tried, and avenge his father. In the process, he met Mu Zhuolun and his daughter Huo Qingtong (played by Guan Yonghe). Huo Qingtong admired Chen Jialuo's chivalry and followed him to participate in the robbery of the prisoner car. Unfortunately, the action ended in failure. At the same time, Chen Jialuo was shocked to find that Qianlong was actually Dongfang Er, who had hit it off with him and shared similar interests. Afterwards, Chen Jialuo returned to his hometown and met Qianlong again.
