Synopsis

During the Liu Song dynasty, powerful aristocrats have taken control of the government, throwing the country into chaos. To change this, Prince Peng Cheng, the son and regent of the Emperor, Liu Yikang (Qin Hao) introduces new policies for political reform. To break the alliance between the aristocrats, Liu Yikang enters into a marriage alliance with the Shen family, who has roots in the military. Note that in actual Chinese history Emperor Wen, son of Emperor Wu, had the personal name of Liu Yilong and Prince Peng Cheng or Liu Yikang was his younger brother. In this story, Prince Peng Cheng is named Liu Yikang and his fiancé turns out to be Shen Lige (Li Qin), whom he has previously met at a dance house. Shen Lige actually took the identity of her martial arts sister A Nu. A Nu was stolen as an infant from the Shen family. However, because Lige wearing A Nu's bracelet, Mother Shen and the rest of the family come to believe she is their long lost daughter Jia. General Shen, Shen Lige's father, allows her to officially enter the family as Shen Lige rather than Shen Jia. Her younger cousin, Shen Leqing becomes jealous that she loses her place as the eldest daughter. Shen Leqing creates many issues for Shen Lige, before, during, and after marriage to Liu Yikang. After marriage, Li Ge assists Liu Yikang in dealing with their political opponents and implementing new policies. However, in response, the aristocrats ally together to suppress Li Ge and the Shen family, who is later massacred. Pained by her loss, Li Ge vows to take revenge for her family.[2]


Note that in actual Chinese history, during the Liu Song dynasty, Liu Yilong became Emperor Wu, and was married to Consort Shen, who later became Empress Dowager Shen. Song of Glory appears to pattern the life of Emperor, also known as Liu Yilong, but use the name of Liu Yikang.
