The story takes place in the last years of the Shangyuan Dynasty, a time when natural and man-made disasters occurred and the heroes were divided. Lin Qinghe, Mo Changge, Xiao Yutang, Du Qingyin, and He Zhixing, who were once strangers to each other, accidentally formed an alliance in the ancient town of Jianghu due to a turmoil, and became involved in the game between the court and the rivers and lakes. During the journey of life and death, they faced family feuds, national disasters, and their own secret sorrows, and grew up in the intertwining of absurdity and warmth. Mixed with the grievances of the rivers and lakes, the intrigues of the court, and various forces, the transformation of the people is told in multiple parallel lines - there are betrayals of companions, reversals of life experiences, and emotional rifts, as well as sincere friendship, bittersweet love, and persistence of ideals. In the end, a war that determined the destiny of the country came to an end. Everyone made their own choices and wrote their own answers.
