Synopsis
In The Ravages of Time, Feng and Liao Yuan, the two main characters in the story, narrate this historical period and give an insight into what took place during the later end of the Han dynasty, as Liao Yuan’s friendship with Sima Yi was ultimately drifted apart due to their involvement in the war. The two of them were great friends and were known to be prosperous in their respective fields and the ray of hope for their clans.
Liao Yuan and Sima Yi had joined hands to witness and participate in the downfall of Dong Zhuo, a powerful military general at that time. Sima Yi’s clan had a group of assassins called the Handicapped Warriors, but due to his personal circumstances, he joined forces with the Cao Cao clan and worked under them.
Liao Yuan, on the other hand, adopted a new identity under the name Zhao Yun and served leader Liu Bei to help out his friend in assassinating Dong Zhuao. However, having come from different military bases, they were forced to fight against each other. Along with Liao Yuan and Sima Yi, the Handicapped Warriors too will play a vital role in the defeat of General Zhuao.
