A folk story about Zhou Chu appeared in the 430 book A New Account of the Tales of the World and proved to be very popular. Zhou Chu, a young man with supernatural power, is stubborn and rebellious, always doing bad things with good intentions, and is regarded as an outsider by the people of Wu County. One night, in order to save the children outside the city, Zhou Chu killed the white-fronted tiger demon, but unexpectedly, the tiger king (played by Chen Guokun) comes to people of Wu.

Adapted from the novel written by Ni Luo, the drama tells the story of two young lads growing up during the early years of the Republic of China (1912-49). Bai Lusheng, whose family was killed by warlords, lives as a refugee in North China, where he meets the arrogant Long Xiang and his maid Ya Ya. After becoming friends, Bai promises to assist Long to achieve his ambition of becoming president of China, while Long decides to help Bai avenge his family.
