In third-century Anatolia, the Roman officer Metellus flees the Persians with his men and reaches ancient China, the Empire of the Center. There he discovers an age-old kingdom, strange fighting techniques and the young Yu Chang, with whom he falls in love. The plot stems from a little-known real episode: the arrival of Roman soldiers in China.
