In troubled times, the reckless scholar Lin Buyu stepped into the land of strife after a family accident, met friends from different life experiences, and jointly dealt with the unpredictable power struggles and wars and displacements. The three volumes present Lin Buyu's growth at different stages: from being trapped in a small town, to emerging among a large number of refugees, to traveling across the rivers and lakes when princes compete for hegemony. Resolve dangers through humorous exchanges, and gradually move from hardship to a new life under the guidance of wit and friendship. They travel together in the world, go through court affairs, unfulfilled ambitions, successes and failures, and finally find peace and hope at the end of troubled times. They are both relaxed and humorous, but also have profound insights.
