Ordinary teenager Chen Fan and his older sister, Fang Lin, are drawn into a conspiracy by the Shadow Organization. Holding a crucial clue, they become targets of a deadly manhunt. In their darkest hour, they encounter the righteous wanderer Zhao Gang and his former followers. Together, they flee into the mountains, struggling to survive on the edge of death.
They think the mountains will be their last refuge, but instead, they become the starting point of a new life. Drawing on the connections and mountain resources he built up in his younger days, Zhao Gang leads the group in leaving their fugitive identities behind. They gather medicinal herbs and make use of the forest’s resources legally, setting up an eco-farm. From a secret stash of emergency cash and selling a valuable bloodstone to earning rewards for reporting illicit deals and watching the farm business flourish, they build wealth with their own hands in the face of adversity, gradually laying the foundations for a stable life.
But the shadow never truly fades. Remnants of the Shadow Organization follow their trail, closing in step by step, while the threats of a man in a black suit hang over them like a sword. The fugitives of the past have transformed. Now they have allies to fight alongside and a home and livelihood worth protecting. When evil strikes again, the battle for survival, wealth, and justice is bound to be even more harrowing. This is a tale of fighting to survive a deadly manhunt, and an ode to ordinary people who, through courage and solidarity, rise to greatness deep in the mountains.
