In the chaotic years of the Republic of China, war fires rage across Yunnan.
Pu Xiaohong takes to the hills of Liangwang Mountain, but when government troops surround him and leave him with no way out, he stumbles upon a thousand-year-old treasure cave riddled with traps.
Rust-eaten weapons and armor, along with ancient grain reduced to black dust, are all worthless. Only huge quantities of silver, jade, and gold ingots remain intact.
To survive, he pretends to accept the government’s offer of amnesty, curries favor with gifts, and secretly stockpiles weapons.
A deal at a Hongmen banquet, a risky ploy to divert attention with a feint, a bloody breakout: he and his men flee for their lives.
On one side, warlords relentlessly pursue him. On the other, a vast treasure lies hidden deep in the cave.
Caught in the cracks of a chaotic age, a band of outlaws seeks only one way out: a chance to stay alive.
