Five Kings of Thieves Storyline
In the early years of the Republic of China, when warlords ruled and the world was in turmoil, a mysterious treasure of jade beads appeared which was traced to rivers and lakes. It was also rumored that the clue of the ‘Five Elements Sacred Monarch’ which symbolized the throne had been sealed.
During that time, revolutionaries and students were progressively waging campaigns to protect national treasures. Including protecting it from the Japanese Black Dragon Association robbing China’s national treasure.
Unintentionally, Huo Xiao Xie (Wang Da Lu) gets caught up in the chaos. Orphans who are used to living in the market are even involved in the movement to protect national treasures which make them face various difficulties, obstacles and dangers.
On the way, Huo Xiao Xie meets Shu Yao Er (Ren Min), the smart and eccentric daughter of the Water King. Despite being the domineering party in the friendship, Shu Yao Er always put protecting Huo Xiao Xie ahead of herself when facing various dangers.
Huo Xiao Xie only relied on kindness, justice, intelligence, and vigilance to overcome these difficulties. But eventually he was able to integrate the five elements family into a reliable force to expel the Tartars and restore China.
