Ao Jian Jiang Hu(2006)

Ao Jian Jiang Hu is a Chinese historical drama following the intertwined fates of a disgraced general and a prince raised in secret. General Zhan Hao is forced to massacre a village for its iron ore, an act that costs his pregnant wife her life. She bears a son before dying, and the child is rescued and adopted by village magistrate Fang Zian. Blamed for the slaughter, Zhan is imprisoned and his family executed. He escapes and kidnaps the infant prince, plotting to use the royal heir to overthrow the Song Empire. Two decades later, the prince has grown into a man tasked with dismantling the very empire of his birth, while the Emperor deploys Fang's adopted son—unaware he is the prince himself—to infiltrate the rebel forces led by his biological father. Loyalty, vengeance, and hidden identities collide as past and present converge.
