Prince Yogu, the first son of King Baekje's second wife Piryu, was chosen as a toy of fate. Even as a young man, he lost the trust of his father, the love of his mother and the affection of his brothers, was separated from his beloved and doomed to a meaningless existence. But fate also gave the young man a strong will, a strong character, loyal friends and unsurpassed skill in the possession of weapons.
Fate chose two ways for him - either to climb the stairs to the throne, or to embark on a journey along the roads of Baekje. Here is the staircase that leads to the summit of power, but at every rung there will be not only the joy of victory, pride and glory, but also the pain of disappointment, contempt and heartache. But the expanses of roads, a wagon and faithful servants - the life of a salt merchant is simple and simple. The easy way beckons simplicity, but what awaits it there, at the top of the stairs? Which is stronger, the sweetness of victory or the bitterness of loss? And the young warrior chooses a heavy, sometimes overwhelming climb to the top.
This is the story of the life of King Kynchhoi, the greatest war-conqueror and glorious ruler of the state of Baekje. During his reign, Baekje reached its peak, conquered most of the Korean peninsula and established the position of royal power.
