Synopsis

In the chaos of the Republican era, Gun'er, a poor young man with thick brows and bright eyes, was the secret longing of every woman in the little village beneath the Taihang Mountains. The landlord's daughter, the glamorous concubine, the fiery and devoted village beauty... Their gazes wove a gentle net, but it could not hold back the sudden arrival of national enmity and personal hatred.

The Japanese invaders' iron hooves crushed the mountain village. Amid blood and fire, almost all the men were killed. Overnight, Gun'er was forced to grow up, leading a group of young women and newlywed wives into the deep mountains. The hunting rifles they once used were aimed at the invaders, and their frail shoulders took up the banner of revenge and survival.

The young heiress took a bullet meant for him. The concubine used her wits to maneuver between friend and foe. On a freezing night, the village beauty warmed his frozen body with her own... He was their only support, the one man among all those women who could hold his head high and shoulder the burden. From spontaneous acts of revenge to finding faith in the revolution, they watered hope with their blood and risked their lives to protect the old and young.

Victory in the war brought the chance to rebuild their home. At last, when Gun'er took the village beauty's hand, the silent tears of every woman in the village on their wedding night marked the farewell to an era and mourned a collective memory that would never fade. This is the epic of one man's coming of age, and the wartime legend of a group of women.
