In an era when the world is in chaos and wars are raging, Li Duofu, a young man in the city, navigates the troubled times on his own. He is surrounded by 'wizards' in various fields - Du Yian, a high-profile official, Zhang Xiaopang, who is as strong as an ox, Ah Jiu, a charlatan assassin, and Sun Zhainan, a cute scholar. The five people came together by the hand of fate and were involved in power struggles and separatist forces. There are lots of jokes and crises along the way: they make mistakes and expose the conspiracy of a treacherous official, put down rebels and bandits, protect refugees, expose corruption, and find missing relatives. He grows up in playing tricks, transforms in humor, and finally walks his own path in troubled times, witnessing friendship, growth, justice and the true meaning of life.
