The story takes place in the fictional mainland of China, where the Three Kingdoms are divided and the people are in dire straits. The protagonist Zhao Dachui was originally a gangster in the market, but he accidentally got involved in the war due to a scam. Together with the heroine Li Erniang, the scholar Zhou Yan and others, they formed the "Troubled Times Team" to protect themselves and survive in the flames of war, and saved the day by accident many times. They gradually grow up in escape, resistance, games of wisdom and countless absurd adventures, from survival to saving people. The villain Qian Dagui continues to frame him, but is also repeatedly outwitted by the team. Each volume tells the story of how they grew up, formed forces, and broke up the battlefield, until they finally used humor, wisdom and courage to calm the war. The whole story has a fast pace, lots of jokes, and equal emphasis on ups and downs as well as warmth. It is interspersed with trivial matters of urban life from time to time. It has both coherence and independence, and finally ends successfully in the finale.
