In the last years of the Yan Dynasty, there were many years of famine. Su Wanzhao, a war orphan, strayed into the mountains in order to survive and rescued Gu Zhaozhi, the "blood-clad devil" who was being hunted by the warlords. On the surface, Gu Zhaozhi was so sick that he couldn't even hold a bowl steady, but in fact he was a ruthless character who wiped out the banditry in three cities. He had to pretend to be weak because he was chronically poisoned. Su Wanzhao thought she had to take care of her "weak" husband, but every time she encountered danger (she was robbed of food by refugees, taken hostage by warlords), Gu Zhaozhi was able to use the most ruthless means to solve the trouble where she could not see it - such as a bloodbath in the middle of the night when the warlords rescued her, but lied that she was "lucky to escape"; The two of them planted wild vegetables and raised chickens in a small courtyard. Gu Zhaozhi pretended to be weak and begged the heroine to give her medicine, while secretly leaving the only food he had to her. Until the warlord Zhou Li came to seek revenge for the destruction of his tribe, Gu Zhaozhi finally exposed his strength and used his own power to fight. After destroying Zhou Li's army with force, he hugged the heroine and said, "Wanwan, I'm actually not that weak. It's me who will protect you from now on." In the end, the two of them defended the small village and became "living Bodhisattvas" in the eyes of the refugees, living with warmth in the famine.
