In the troubled times when the great powers in the southeast are falling apart, Zhou Banxian, a commoner, makes a living by "fortune telling and swindling", and is accidentally involved in the power struggle of General Cheng Yunlie. He forms a grassroots group with the think tank Su Xiaomou, the businessman Li Dazhuang, and the rural old horse head. They must avoid tyranny, protect themselves and survive, and even leverage the situation between circumstances. Powerful figures such as Qin Wudao and Cheng Yunlie began to fight for power, while the people lived their lives with humor and wisdom. As countries change and cities change owners, everyone gradually grows up in suffering, loyalty and choices. In troubled times, despite fate and heroes, ordinary people can still make their way through the world with a smile.
