Two male protagonists
The forbearing emperor who looks ridiculous but actually has the world in mind. The general who protects the country with the highest attack power and a sharp tongue.
Due to internal and external troubles in Daliang, the young emperor Xiao Jingheng pretended to be a coward to test the government's situation, and formed a bond with the upright and poisonous general Gu Changyuan through laughter and mutual hostility. Until the beacon fire suddenly broke out in the north, the two of them expressed their sincerity and trusted each other in life and death in the tempering of blood and fire. However, in the ups and downs of troubled times, someone will eventually need to sacrifice his body. This is an elegy for family and country that begins as a joke and ends with tragedy. It expresses the ultimate regret of living up to the people but only failing you.
