A modern soul travels through the late Warring States period, where young Mo Leng becomes a shepherd boy from a poor family in the Qin Dynasty, on the eve of the war between the Seven Kingdoms. He saw through the cruelty of the world, endured and lay dormant, herding horses during the day to make a living, secretly learned the peerless swordsmanship late at night, and silently understood the wisdom of hundreds of schools of thought in later generations. He dealt with the snobbish tribesmen and the arrogant rich girl Yin Ning. He sharpened himself in the warmth and coldness of the market and the entanglements of human relationships. He lost his immaturity and accumulated sharp edges. He vowed to use his humble mortal body to rise up against the will of heaven in troubled times and take charge of the fate of mountains and rivers.
