A spring outing and a fall off a cliff. Seventeen-year-old Lin Muyao traveled from modern times to the war-torn fictional ancient times.
She thought that all she had left in her life was farming, raising chickens, and waiting to die in a poor mountain valley. Fortunately, they met the honest Aunt Zhao, the lively Aman, and the gentle Shen Qingqiu, and the three girls became sisters with different surnames in Qingshi Village. She taught Aman how to read, read poetry with Qingqiu, and used modern knowledge to grow Manpo sweet potatoes. Although life was hard, she had the warmth of the world.
She also rescued a seriously injured man on the mountain road. The man said his name was Xiao Yan and he was a businessman. He looked at her seriously and didn't say much, but left a dagger for her.
She didn't know that he was the king of Qi.
A year later, bandits massacred the village. Aunt Zhao fell in a pool of blood, Aman and Qingqiu were kidnapped, and Qingshi Village turned into a sea of fire. Mu Yao crawled out from the pile of dead people and embarked on a journey to find people.
She was rescued by Zhao Hu, the general of Beiyan, and practiced medicine with the army, saving people and making inquiries along the way. She didn't know that in the palace thousands of miles away, Xiao Yan sent out all the secret guards just to find one person.
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."
At this time, Aman was bought from the slave market by Northern Yan general Murong Yu, and Qingqiu's whereabouts became a mystery. The war between Qi State and Beiyan reignited, and the court master and the main warlord quarreled. And Mu Yao's sister Shen Qingqiu, who is as close as brother and sister, is going further and further on the road to darkness——
"Mu Yao, you are for the country of Qi, and I am for my family. From now on, we will never be sworn in."
When the former sisters faced each other with swords, when the troubled times forced her step by step from a village girl to a chess player.
