Starting at the Xuanwu Gate - Season 1
On the eve of the Xuanwu Gate incident in the ninth year of Wude, Chen Huai'an, an immortal endowed with the strength of the Hegemon King, tries in vain to persuade Crown Prince Li Jiancheng to avoid disaster, and instead takes the initiative to be imprisoned alongside Wei Zheng for self-preservation. During a midnight coup in Chang'an, while breaking out of the heavenly prison to survive, they unexpectedly run into Li Shimin. A single line, "Sharing the same crime with all of you," coupled with unique monarch-minister political insights, instantly wins over the monarch, leading to his appointment as a teacher at the Hongwen Academy. Rejecting traditional exegesis, he uses forward-looking concepts such as strengthening the military, promoting deep farming, and treating scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants alike as the foundation of the state to ignite the ambition of Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo, and a group of youths to reform the world. To fend off the Tujue and prepare for natural disasters, master and disciples brew a famous wine named "Beauty's Pass," which takes Chang'an by storm with a mere hundred strings of cash. The wine shop soon attracts the covetous eyes of Pei Ji's faction.

Memulai di Gerbang Xuanwu - Musim 1 (165 episode)
Menjelang malam Insiden Gerbang Xuanwu pada tahun kesembilan Wude, Chen Huai'an, seorang makhluk abadi yang memiliki kekuatan Raja Hegemon, dengan sia-sia…
Menjelang malam Insiden Gerbang Xuanwu pada tahun kesembilan Wude, Chen Huai'an, seorang makhluk abadi yang memiliki kekuatan Raja Hegemon, dengan sia-sia membujuk Putra Mahkota Li Jiancheng untuk menghindari bencana, lalu berinisiatif mengajak Wei Zheng masuk penjara untuk melindungi diri. Selama kudeta malam di Chang'an, saat kabur dari penjara surgawi untuk bertahan hidup, mereka tak sengaja berpapasan dengan Li Shimin. Satu kalimat, "Berbagi dosa yang sama dengan kalian semua," ditambah wawasan politik penguasa dan menteri yang unik, langsung menaklukkan sang raja, menjadikannya guru di Akademi Hongwen. Menolak penafsiran tradisional, ia menggunakan konsep mutakhir seperti memperkuat militer, menggalakkan pertanian nyata, dan menganggap kaum sarjana, petani, pengrajin, serta pedagang sebagai fondasi negara, untuk menyalakan ambisi Li Chengqian, Cheng Chumo, dan sekelompok pemuda guna mereformasi dunia. Untuk menangkis Tujue dan bersiap menghadapi bencana alam, guru dan murid menyeduh arak terkenal bernama "Celah Kecantikan," yang langsung meledak di Chang'an hanya dengan modal seratus untai koin. Toko anggur tersebut menarik perhatian para antek Pei Ji.
