The Qin and Han Dynasties were in turmoil, and the world was uncertain.
History records princes, generals and ministers, but the soil buries unknown soldiers.
Chen Man, a young boy from a poor family, was forced to join the army. He thought that as long as he survived the war, he would be able to return home with a reward. But he soon discovered that the most terrifying thing on the battlefield was not the enemy, but hunger, cold, military law, defeat, and the confusion of not knowing why he was fighting.
Veteran Wei Qi teaches him how to survive, medical girl Sang Niang lets him see the wounds behind the war, and enemy boy A Ye makes him understand: the so-called enemy may be just another poor man who is forced to die. The so-called peace grows from the bones of countless nameless people.
