In troubled times, the temple and the rivers and lakes are intertwined with turmoil. The six people are ups and downs in the market, the court and the shadow of swords. Due to a family feud, Yu Jiuzhe and his friends wandered into the world and met Shen Jingshu, a powerful minister. By chance, the two of them joined the camp of wise men in the world, led by Bai Sanqiu and Chu Huali. Everyone formed a temporary alliance with Ying Xiaofu and Zhang Yugong, joking with each other, complaining about each other, and fighting side by side in the whirlpool of power. The story line is interspersed with absurdities in the market, palace innuendos, and anecdotes in the world. Against the background of absurd yet real troubled times, the characters experience shaken beliefs, choices between life and death, and tests of friendship and self-salvation. In the end, they grow up in mutual help, fight against cruelty in humor, and dance with the black and white vagaries of the times. The three volumes respectively focus on the ups and downs of the world, the undercurrent in the temple, and the final chapter of revenge and redemption. The structure is compact and the story lines are diverse. The three volumes are causal to each other. The ending faces fate directly, and there are no regrets when writing the book.
