During the Xiantong period of the late Tang Dynasty, the building was about to collapse.
The dynasty's post system collapsed, and the old post officer Zhao Sanhe was deprived of his livelihood job and became a refugee. He originally wanted to take the orphan Anu he picked up and find a humble way to survive in this world of cannibalism.
However, he was inadvertently involved in a "decapitated official document" incident involving the secrets of the feudal town. From then on, he was forced to survive among the Huangchao rebels, the fangs who cut the feudal lord, the down-and-out nobles, and starvation for thousands of miles.
From the ruins of Chang'an to the bloody rivers of Bianzhou, he worked as a corpse carrier and the accountant of a hypocritical warlord, clinging to the last bit of humanity in the desperate situation of exchanging children for food. He is like a chess piece, being fiddled with by the giant hand of fate on the chessboard of the times. Every step he takes is on the edge of life and death.
But he doesn't know that these troubled times are like a torrential furnace, which not only forges the hegemony of heroes, but also the tenacity of ordinary people. When the glimmer of light he was guarding finally shone in the ruins, he realized that in this age when life was so fragile, surviving was a feat in itself.
