Amid the towering flames of a border campaign against bandits, Chen Lei meets Li Mochou, who has transmigrated from a wuxia world. Li Mochou sees modern civilization as “sorcery” and is deeply hostile toward it. Chen Lei guides her with patience and a sense of responsibility, while his childhood friend Zhou Xin, though in love with him, turns her personal affection into something greater. As Chen Lei's comrade, she helps Li Mochou adapt to modern rules and gives her shelter.
