When the curtain rose on the Republic, the past was swept away like smoke. Only two people remained, tangled together and unwilling to let things end.
One fought desperately to grind the matter into the dirt, while the other insisted on clearing his name and restoring his honor!

Their banners snapped fiercely in the wind, and no one could rival them.
People said, "Fear neither drawn bows nor flashing blades; fear only Bai Duo's spring wine."
This man called Bai Duo had one wife and one confidant in his life, two or three friends, and spent his days by the wine jars, from birth to death.
