Arsenal Military Academy Plot:

Wanting to fulfill his deceased brother’s dream, Xie Xian (Bai Lu) disguises himself as a man with the help of his trusted friend Tan Xiaojun (Jin Xin) and enrolls in the Arsenal Military Academy in Shunyuan. There, he forms strong friendships with fellow countryman Huang Song (Liu Sibo) and Shen Junsan (Li Chengbin), the son of a wealthy family.

The clashes between Gu Yanzheng (Xu Kai), who was sent to the academy as punishment by his diplomat father for his rebellious behavior at school, and his roommate Xie Xian, lead to various incidents at the academy. Despite being weak and frail, Xie Xian transforms into a skilled soldier, earning the respect and admiration of his peers and instructors.

These brave soldiers become embroiled in the political turmoil of their country, facing a conspiracy involving Japanese invaders and the intrigues of noble families descended from the Qing dynasty. Caught amidst numerous political and military machinations, Xie, Gu Yanzheng, and Shen Junsan navigate their country’s challenges amid the complexities of love and friendship.

Gu Yan Zheng (Xu Kai):

The most dynamic character of the series, Gu Yan Zheng is incredibly sweet and mischievous. Despite his sometimes infuriating antics, you’ll find yourself shouting “Gu Yanzheng” along with Xie Xiang after a while.

Xie Xiang / Xi Liang Chen (Bai Lu):

As the main character of the series, Xie Xiang takes us on a journey of profound reflection. She imparts lessons about love, friendship, and human values, teaching us about winning, losing, and rising from the ashes.

After his brother’s sudden death in a tragic accident, Xie initially had no political aspirations. However, his quest to understand his lost brother’s dreams and thoughts, to feel closer to him, will evoke strong emotions.

Shen Jun Shan (Toby Lee):

A character who can inspire both intense love and intense hatred, Shen Jun Shan carries a deep sense of patriotism and love for his country that will resonate with you.

Shen Ting Bai (Hong Yao):

One of the noblest characters in the series, Shen Ting Bai subtly teaches us about love and patriotism. Living for both love and country, he will leave you in awe. (Note: Shen Jun Shan’s Brother)
