In the seventh year of the Republic of China, Li Nian, who was only twenty years old, had already taken charge of the entire Yanping City. She had also become famous in the world, far more popular than her grandfather's generation. She was known for her ruthlessness and determination, and was the feared Li Mogu.
Gu Shi, twenty-five years old, came from a prominent family and was a second-generation official. He joined the army at a young age and became an army colonel based on his own ability without relying on family power. He was sent by the government to Yanping City, where three consecutive garrison commanders had resigned voluntarily in just one year. In Yanping City, he met his old friend Li Nian, who had rescued him when he was a child. However, Li Nian did not remember it, and the two began to fight openly and secretly. Gu Shi slowly guided him to recognize him. With constant understanding, the relationship between the two warmed up and they became lifelong friends.
The two achieve each other's success and support each other. In the turbulent and chaotic era, the two work together to protect Yanping City. His younger brother Li Yu joined the army and died for his country; the actor Liu Suye died together with the Japanese; patriotic students organized themselves to resist foreign aggression; patriotic businessmen, led by Li Nian, launched commercial wars with foreigners... With everyone's efforts, slowly, all parties put aside their own small interests and used their own methods to protect their homeland and defend their country. In the end, Gu Shi died in the war, and Li Nian also died in the battle to defend Yanping City. The two of you are buried together. I will remember you forever and never regret it.
