During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Shen Yuan, a 17-year-old female student from Baishui Town Middle School, was kidnapped by bandits and taken to the mountains, and became the "chosen person" of the boss Gu Yan. She thought she was waiting for endless humiliation, but she found that the young bandit leader not only did not touch her, but also taught her to read ledgers, read maps, and shoot guns. She learned to survive in this gangster den, and step by step she walked into Gu Yan's silent, cold but unexpected protection. When she found out that she was pregnant with the child who had been bullied before going up the mountain, and fell into a desperate situation with nowhere to escape, Gu Yan only said: "When she was born, her surname was Gu."
This is a story about survival, dignity and choice in desperate situations. It does not write about heroes, but only about how ordinary people gritted their teeth and stood firm in the quagmire of fate, and how they fought for a little bit of the right to "live" for themselves in the face of force majeure.
