In the year of great chaos, refugees were everywhere and the country changed hands. Guo Xiaoliu, a young man in the city, originally just wanted to live a stable life, but one day he was involved in a huge conspiracy. In order to protect themselves, they join hands with the down-and-out daughter Song Zhuqing, the deserter Lu Erdan, and the charlatan Li Manman, and they break into the whirlpool of intrigues through a combination of circumstances. A few people made jokes and cleverly got out of trouble, from the alleys of the market to the chaos of the army, witnessing the changes in the temple and the rivers and lakes. The journey is full of hardships and dangers, and a shocking secret that subverts the Chao Gang is uncovered by coincidence... On the road to escape, Guo Xiaoliu and others use wisdom and humor to support each other in desperate situations, not only for survival, but also for the sake of their family and country. In the end, they used ordinary people's methods to stir up the world, not only writing about loyalty in troubled times, but also leaving behind a grassroots philosophy of survival. The whole book uses ups and downs and a tight rhythm to connect strategy, adventure, friendship, love, and humor. In the finale, all living beings are reborn, and the troubled times finally see the light.
