In the Warring States Period, a concubine of Prince of Wei State gives birth to a newborn boy (Wei Yang). The prince invites the sorcerer to make divination for this newborn boy. The sorcerer concludes that this newborn boy will be an evil descendant. As a result, the concubine and her newborn are abandoned to the wilderness. Ten years later, Jing Jian (courtier of the Qin State) is sent on a diplomatic mission to the Wei State. Jing Jian and Gongshu Cuo (General of the Wei State) come to the bank of Xihe River and find this boy. At the first glance, Jin Jian appreciates this clever boy, and he wants to take the boy to the Qin State and personally adopt him. But the general Gongshu Cuo arbitrarily takes the boy Wei Yang away, and forces Wei Yang's foster mother Ji Niang to break with Wei Yang. In order to ensure Wei Yang's bright future, Ji Niang cuts out her eyes, and vows not to see Wei Yang again. Wei Yang is taken to Wei State. Then Gongshu Cuo orders him to accompany the son of King of the Wei State (Prince Ang) to attend school.
