The political power changes, wars are everywhere, and in the afterglow of the Daqian Dynasty, human lives are like grass and all living things are like duckweeds.
Li Ming never thought that a food delivery accident in a heavy rain would cause him, a delivery boy in the 21st century, to travel through this broken mountain and river. The mobile phone he used to take orders and navigate was turned into scrap metal, and the electric vehicle he relied on for survival was gone. Clutching his faded work badge, he had to do odd jobs to make ends meet on the streets filled with homeless people. There were no "takeout orders" in troubled times, only the necessities of survival.
At the same time, the Su family, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, was framed for treason and his family was destroyed overnight. The rich daughter Su Wanqing took off her fine clothes, became anonymous, disguised herself as a man and embarked on the road to clear her wrongdoing. Carrying the only evidence of her family's innocence, she walked in the fog of intrigue, walking on thin ice every step of the way.
An accidental street conflict allowed Li Ming, who was struggling to survive, to save Su Wanqing, who was being hunted. One is an "alien" with modern thinking, and the other is an orphan girl who bears a blood feud. The two souls who have never met have formed an indissoluble bond in troubled times.
Li Ming uses the acumen and resilience of a delivery boy to deal with the crisis of survival, while Su Wanqing uses the wisdom and courage of a wealthy family to explore the truth. They have seen the displacement under the iron heel of Beiyuan, encountered the viciousness of the traitors in the court, and also glimpsed the glimmer of light in each other's support. When the survival instinct of a small man in the city collides with the feelings of family and country of the sons and daughters of aristocratic families, can these two turbulent "duckweeds" rely on each other to keep warm in the torrent of the times, not only earn a living for themselves, but also uncover the fog of conspiracy shrouding the country?
