At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, wars continued. Little people were trapped in the turbulent times. They struggled to survive and became involved in the escape after a military disaster. Lin Qi stole food to support his family, He Xiaoyu got involved in chaos due to debt collection, Cao Sanniang accidentally adopted Mingzhu by selling herbal medicine to save people, Jin Shaoqing made up jokes while running for his life, and Fatty Dong gathered the crowd to save himself with humor. Everyone formed a temporary team, shuttled among the collapsed government, remnant soldiers and bandits, entangled with each other, separated and reunited, witnessed friendship, love and family affection in the suffering and absurdity, and experienced loss and gain. In the multi-line narrative, everyone completes self-salvation between self-deprecation and laughter and tears. In the end, when their home country is completely destroyed, the epic of ordinary people is born.
