In troubled times, the country is in turmoil, the temples are in turmoil, and the rivers and lakes and power are intertwined like a ridiculous drama. Lin Guizhou, who had been wrongfully exiled by his family, wandered around lazily, but always used banter to break the situation at critical moments. In the name of storytelling, Chu Yayi uses absurd humor to satirize the world. Duan Hongqi, a powerful official in the temple, has conflicts in his heart and gets acquainted with the "clowns" in the whirlpool of power and intrigue. Qin Xinghua, a traveling doctor, runs around treating people in chaos with a joke of death. They go together with people with different personalities such as Lu Lier and Han Zixue, sarcastically and help each other. Life is like a play, full of changes - they use self-mockery and warmth to stubbornly bloom the brilliance of human nature under the absurdity in a world where black and white are reversed. Power and life and death, longing and betrayal, blood feud and forgiveness are intertwined. In the final collision between rivers and lakes and temples, everyone must choose the path of survival and self-salvation.
