The white bones of the Weishui River are exposed in the wild, and people and animals mourn in front of the singers. Ji Li, a sixteen-year-old boy from the Zhou tribe, crawled out from the pile of corpses with Quanrong's broken spear still stuck in his body. He has no time travel, no system, and no golden finger. He is just a down-and-out bastard who is hunted down by the powerful and used as a pawn by the nobles of the Shang Dynasty.
In order to survive, he made a deal with the heart-eating Wei Ziqi and redeemed 300 Zhou captives from the slave market; in order to become stronger, he stole the secret technique of bronze, improved farm tools, and refined the strongest iron soldiers in the world. In the Battle of Muye, he led three thousand tigers into battle and witnessed with his own eyes the fire in which Emperor Xin burned himself in Lutai; during the Sanjian Rebellion, he fought bloody battles in the Eastern Expedition, becoming the "Northern Bohou" whom the King of Zhou feared most and could not live without.
The desolate fiefdoms became steel granaries, and the exiled criminals became the common masters of the world. When the cavalry of the princes surrounded the royal capital, he wanted to personally end the dark age of "human sacrifice to divine power" - using mortal wisdom, iron and blood to write an epic without myths.
In the light of Shang and Zhou's swords, a young man was walking on bones, heading towards the pinnacle of power.
