Background Story
“What a precise strike, just flawless!”
Between the interests of the family and Jiang's development, Zhou Yu, who cared deeply for the state and its people, chose the latter. Born into a noble family, Zhou Yu was compassionate and trustworthy, and his acquaintance with Sun Ce further fueled his determination to reform Jiang. The calm and proud noble son is sincere in his passion and willingness to sacrifice for his ideals, and that burning desire extends to his passionate love for Xiao Qiao as well.

Character Relationships
It was through a misunderstanding that the handsome governor Zhou Yu encountered a naive young girl, Xiao Qiao—and it was their love that quelled the plague and brought peace to the land.
A brother since childhood! After graduating from Jixia Academy, the highly talented Zhou Yu and his best friend Sun Ce set sail to launch their great career and save Jiang. Unfortunately, a cruel turn of fate separated them, perhaps forever.
Zhou Yu traveled far to study at Jixia Academy. While he was fortunate to study under the wisest of the Three Sages of Jixia, he was also unfortunate to have a classmate named Kongming.
The proud princess Lady Sun took a strong stand against the outlaws, kickstarting her own martial arts journey while fighting alongside the "Ironwilled Governor" Zhou Yu, quickly becoming famous the world over.
Once, Da Qiao used lights to guide Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's fleet, and this granted her the opportunity to meet and fall in love with Sun Ce. The hand of fate was cruel, however, and Sun Ce's untimely death was a great loss to both Da Qiao and Zhou Yu.
"Heavens, why did you create Kongming when you had already created Zhou Yu?" There had always been a thorn in the side of the arrogant Zhou Yu. Both had studied at Jixia Academy, but had very different goals and ideals. Although Zhou Yu was always outmaneuvered by Kongming in debates, he wasn't too bothered. He believed that the way to achieve one's ideals was through decisive action, not theoretical exercises.
