The famous Chen family was wiped out in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The surviving son Chen Huiping changed his name and endured it all his life. He did business in various places in the short-lived Sui Empire and became a wealthy gentry. Chen Huiping's second son, Chen Bingzhi, was smart since he was a child, but he offended the nobles of the Sui Dynasty, causing the family to collapse. His mother died of illness, and his brothers and sisters were scattered all over the country. Many years later, Bingzhi, who became an adult, once again found his brother and eldest sister and wanted to go to the Western Regions to find his father who had not returned from doing business. The three siblings embarked on a strange journey.
