At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen Ke, the son of a blacksmith, was thrown into the purgatory of war in the bloody fire of Xiangyang City. After rescuing his lover's dying father, what he got was not peace, but a blood-stained ancestral military book "Martial Classics General Essentials" and a bloody testament of "Guard the Yangtze River".
From the corrupt military camp to the bloody battle in Ezhou, from the death of his brothers to the execution of his best friend, Chen Ke's ideals collapsed again and again in the cruel reality. Du Heng, the supervisor, is pressing closer and closer, revealing the cold old family grudges.
On the cliff surface of the mountain, the empire's last fleet capsized in flames. When the prime minister betrayed the emperor and crossed the sea, Chen Ke killed his rebellious enemies, but chose to survive with his lover. Carrying the book of war that traveled through the flames of war, he shouldered the entrustment of the dead souls and became the guardian of the fire of civilization in a desperate situation.
Eight hundred years later, in the sunken ship of the Southern Song Dynasty buried deep in the seabed, the "Martial Classics General Essentials", which was protected by life, reappeared in the world - a line of vague small words on the back cover, telling the endless song:
"The song is still young, the fire will last forever."
