In the war-torn times when the court was troubled by internal and external troubles and the world was bloody, an unexpected encounter brought together people with distinctive personalities such as the fugitive princess Liang Siyao, the down-and-out scribe Shen Fangge, the reckless swordsman Gu Pingsheng, the thief Yuan Wujiu, the temple strategist Xiao Langgui, and the wandering monk Qin Huaiyuan. They each have their own concerns, and while laughing and complaining about each other, they step into the inevitable power disputes, changes in the world, and emotional entanglements. With the changes in the political situation, undercurrents in the world, and the pressure of foreign enemies, the absurd truth between the dusty past and the black and white of the times is gradually revealed. Faced with betrayal, life and death, love, hate, and redemption, everyone either resolves their suffering with self-mockery, or resolves the dangers of the human heart with humor, and finally breaks out of troubled times together and completes their own growth and redemption. The ending is not purely black and white, but responds to the ups and downs of history with tenderness and ridicule.
