In the border jungle, a bullet ended his life as a special soldier. When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yuan found that he had become a tuberculosis ghost who was about to die in rural North China in the 1970s - the brother-in-law of the Chang family.
The Chang family is a desperate family that everyone in the village can bully. The eldest brother died on the construction site, leaving behind Zhao Wanqing, a widowed landowner's sister-in-law, three young sisters, and his sick body that could not even get off the bed. The village chief covets the Chang family's homestead, the butcher Zhao Laoliu covets his sister-in-law's innocence, and the clan's rules are like a mountain, crushing the family into powder.
But they didn't know that inside this sickly body lived a soldier king who crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
When he coughed up blood and stabbed the red-hot iron into Butcher Zhao's knees; when he used the blood of self-inflicted wounds to write a blood deed on the family tree in the ancestral hall; when he used a gapped kitchen knife to open a way for the Chang family to survive on a snowy night - everyone knew that the world of this courtyard was about to change.
From being bullied to not being bullied, from being trampled to being unbreakable. This is not a revenge, this is a desperate counterattack by a man who sacrifices his life to save a lonely family and earn back his dignity.
