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.
Set during the turbulent time of the fall of Goryeo and the founding of Joseon, two former friends face-off against one another over a woman and the future shape of the nation.

During the Warring Period, the Western Wei enslaved large numbers of civilians. The slave girl, Chu Qiao, is thrown into a forest along with other slaves and becomes the next hunting target for the rich lords. She is saved by the Prince of Northern Wei, Yan Xun. Afterwards, she is brought into a powerful family of Yuwen and witnesses their bloody power struggle. Seeing this, she swears to take her younger sister and flee from the situation. However, she catches the attention of Yuwen Yue, and undergoes strict training while building a sense of companionship with Yan Xun. Unfortunately, Western Wei goes into battle and Yan Xun’s family is slaughtered. After that incident, Yan Xun grows ambitious and cruel to avenge for the things and the people he lost. He doubts Chu Qiao and takes advantages of her loyalty and love many times, disregarding their relationship as well as the sacrifices he will have to make for power. Disappointed with the man she once loved, Chu Qiao eventually breaks off her relationship with Yan Xun and chooses to fight with Yuwen Yue, destroying Yan Xun’s plans of vengeance. She eventually convinces Yuwen to free the country from slavery, becoming a successful military strategist/female general in the people’s hearts. close
