The story extends from the Anshi Rebellion to the Tubo occupation of Helong. It uses real historical events as the warp and weft to weave a magnificent picture that integrates the fate of the family and country, the friendship between the world and the personal growth. The protagonist Li Yi witnessed the surviving children of the massacre, went through escape to learn skills, tempered on the battlefield, and sacrificed his loved ones, and finally grew into a rebel leader who stood alone in the occupied areas and resisted the enemy. His life trajectory was closely intertwined with the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the war in Hexi and Anxi. The work not only creates many real and fictional characters with rich layers, but also explores the perseverance, sacrifice and inheritance of people in troubled times through martial arts narratives. Amid the shadows of swords and the dust of history, it plays a desolate and persevering heroic pastoral.
