At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Lu Sanxi, an unknown boy in the village, was accidentally involved in the torrent of bandits, famine and dynasty changes. A group of little people who are also trapped by the times: Qian Xiaoman, a teahouse girl who disguises her identity, Wu Jiulang, a ranger who likes to brag, He Wuniang, an old woman with a poisonous tongue, and Zhang Daqing, a down-and-out scholar full of economics - they support each other and redeem each other in a mixture of humor and suffering. Sanxi leads a small group to survive in a difficult way, sometimes making fun of themselves, sometimes bursting into tears, and continues to grow in escape, struggle, betrayal and protection. In the end, they found peace at the end of the war and suffering, and wrote a humble epic belonging to ordinary people at the bottom.
