During the Yongzhao period of Dajing, the imperial power declined and aristocratic families were in power. Children from poor families have no way to get ahead, and only military exploits on the battlefield can break class barriers.
In Xipo Village, a poor boy named Shen Yan, whose parents are dead, makes a living by herding cattle. He was bullied by the village bully and trampled by the powerful. The only light came from a government girl who was fostered in the countryside - Su Qingyuan. She taught him how to read and read the art of war. When she left, she gave him a lotus jade buckle: "Bring it with you and you will be treated as someone who believes in you."
Shen Yan burned down the dilapidated house and joined the military camp. He started from the bottom of the handyman camp, made many military exploits with his forbearance and strategy, and honed his skills on the edge of life and death. There was an emergency at the border, so he used 30,000 remnants of troops to fight against 100,000 Beidi cavalry. He reversed the deadlock with three strategies: suspicion of soldiers, alienation, and food shortages. He became a god in one battle and became the youngest general of Zhenbei in Dajing.
On the day when he became famous, he went to Beijing to go to the Bureau. Above the court, the nobles of the family regarded him as a thorn in their side; deep in the house, Su Qingyuan was being forced to marry someone else. Shen Yan held 50,000 troops guarding Yuan, and joined forces with the new emperor, working step by step on the edge of the machinations, not only to protect her, but also to fight for a way out for the poor family in the world.
This is a legend of counterattack from the quagmire to the top. There is no golden finger, no noble person from heaven, only a poor boy using his flesh and blood to earn a future worthy of her and guard a world where he will no longer be trampled on by others.
Guard Yuan—guard her, and guard this world.
