Chaos is about to break out, and the heroes are divided. Li Changgeng, a young man who wanted to make a living all day long, strayed into a place of right and wrong in order to survive, and thus found himself at the forefront of the storm. In the flames of war, he formed the protagonist group with two men and one woman with different personalities - the down-and-out noblewoman Su Wan'er, the scholar Fang Jisheng possessed by a degenerate god, and the "venomous tongue" assassin Murong Xiaobei. They made mistakes along the way and were involved in many political battles and grievances. They not only have to face powerful enemies, but also entertain themselves with jokes, maintaining humor in extreme hardships. The three people witnessed life and death, power, family affection and love, grew up in troubled times, and worked together to overcome the disaster. Finally, in their hometown where the flames of war have dissipated, the three of them interpreted "laughter and tears in troubled times" in a unique way.
