The life of 17-year-old high school student Lin Mo ended in a car accident while trying to save a milk cat. When he opened his eyes again, the salty sea breeze and cold swords and guns told him that he had become a soldier on the anti-Japanese front line during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no golden finger, no prominent identity, only a tattered armor and a rusty spear. Facing the real and cruel Japanese pirate blade, facing an era with only a few words in textbooks, he once trembled with fear and nauseated with killing, but in the blood of the beach and the fireworks in the camp, he tightened the weapon in his hand.
He used modern knowledge to improve the gun barrel and learned to wield a sword in the battlefield of life and death. By chance, he stood on the same battlefield as Qi Jiguang, the idol in his childhood textbook. From looking up to history to becoming a witness of history, this homeless time traveler gradually understood that survival is more than just living; protection is more than just one person and one cat.
When the modern soul collides with the flames of war four hundred years ago, and when the hand of the campus boy holds the gun that protects his family and country, can he carve a way out for himself and for this precarious era in this tempering of blood and fire?
