The story takes place in an imaginary and troubled time, with the collapse of imperial power, the displacement of the people, and the separatism of warlords. Liang Xiaoqi, a clever young man, wanted to live a stable life, but due to a mistake, he owed a huge debt to the black market boss Qian Kuihua, and was forced to be involved in the whirlpool of power. The gangster Zhao Ergou, the spicy Aunt Wang, the down-and-out nobleman Sun Bancheng, and the new warlord general Li Lei also formed a grassroots team for various reasons.
They circled among the major forces all the way, using a series of unbelievable methods such as native methods, clever language, and bun tactics to get through difficulties, and they frequently made jokes in major life and death events. The three volumes respectively revolve around the main themes of escape and survival, reversal of fate, revenge and redemption, showing the humorous struggle in troubled times, and finally ushering in one's destination in troubled times. Each volume has a separate growth theme, but also echoes each other, ultimately concluding the fate of all characters.
