The story unfolds amid the chaos between the Qin and Han dynasties. Lin Yu and Su Ran transmigrate into this era. They are insignificant nobodies with neither power nor influence, yet they dream of protecting a corner of the land. The lords and martial factions vying for supremacy and profit see Lin Yu and Su Ran as obstacles, and do everything they can to crush them. Though the two rely on modern knowledge to navigate the turmoil, they are newcomers with little experience in political intrigue and often misjudge the complex situation. In this chaotic age, they meet allies and build up their own strength. But circumstances change in an instant, and if they miss their chance, they may never be able to protect anyone. They must rapidly build a force capable of standing against all sides. Meanwhile, their modern ideas and behavior lead ancient powers to view them as outsiders, leaving them to face misunderstandings and crises of trust. Amid struggles for power, Lin Yu and Su Ran are repeatedly forced to choose between upholding modern ideals of equality and the rule of law, or doing whatever it takes to succeed in the political arena. Even if they ultimately manage to protect their corner of the land, they will have to commit acts that violate their morals, and the price of victory will be steep. Still, they struggle forward through hardship, trying to change the course of this chaotic age.
