In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644), the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. Inside, Li Zicheng's millions of troops came to Beijing, and outside, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were watching. The empire is about to collapse like a building. Loyalty and treachery, ideals and betrayals, survival and morality collide fiercely in the flames of war.
The story revolves around a loyal but difficult Jin Yiwei, a frontier general struggling between the hatred of his country and his family, and a young woman trying to protect her family and faith in troubled times. They were involved in the torrent of history. They made their own choices in different corners of the capital, the border, and the south of the Yangtze River, and together they composed a heroic epic of a broken home and country and a heroic tragedy. This is not only the setting sun of the Ming Dynasty, but also the struggle and survival of countless little people under the wheel of the times.
