The orphan Qin Zhao survived the flood and was adopted by Liu Qing, the notorious "defeated general". Under the protection of wealthy businessmen in Yizhou, he grew up together with A Ruo, Lin Yun and Xu Zheng. However, the peace was broken, and Qin Zhao discovered that the tragedy of that year was not accidental, and it also implicated his adoptive father's injustice and many mysteries in Yizhou.
In order to pursue the truth, he left the asylum of the academy and embarked on a dangerous journey. From chasing the murderer in Lingnan to breaking the situation in Jiangnan, from the secret fight in the capital to the battlefield of war, Qin Zhao, as an ordinary young man, side by side with his best friends, dealt with and fought in the conspiracies and wars of troubled times.
He not only avenged his loved ones and avenged his adoptive father's shame, but also stood up to defend the country when the country was in danger. With wisdom and sincerity, he opened a road to "clearness" in the dark and troubled times, seeking a bright future for the devastated mountains and rivers.
