The land of Dongzhou has been plunged into successive wars, dynasties have changed, and the heroes have separated themselves. The down-and-out scholar Gu Yunsheng originally wanted to become famous in the examination room, but unexpectedly the war broke out and he was forced to flee with his wise friend Chu Mingzhang and the storyteller Qi Xiaoman. They were not only affected by the turmoil, but also humorous and self-deprecating on the edge of life and death. They used wit and kindness to deal with the war, bandits and the power struggle at the top of the city. The three of them, Gu Yunsheng, gradually grew up in troubled times, witnessed the ups and downs of human nature, clashed with the bandit leader Shen Zhixing several times, and got involved in the intrigues of the new dynasty by accident. Facing the torrent of history, they used optimism, wisdom and love to travel far and wide with humor, becoming a warm color in troubled times. Finally, when the war ended, they went their separate ways, leaving behind a legend that belongs solely to them.
