In an age of war and upheaval, the land lies shattered. Countless soldiers fight to hold the line, while ordinary people struggle to survive amid hardship.
Chu Jinmian, owner of a grain and cooking oil shop, quietly appears in this devastated land with ample food and medicine.
She does everything she can to help displaced civilians and support the soldiers defending their homeland, striving to protect as many lives as possible in the narrow gaps of a chaotic age.
The tide of history rolls on, and many regrets ultimately cannot be undone. She thought her kindness would be buried forever by the passing years.
Many years later, the remains of martyrs are moved to a new cemetery, and a diary stained with the smoke of war comes to light. A few brief lines on its pages record the brave young stranger who appeared in that troubled age. No one knows where she came from. They only remember that, in a time of crisis, she brought food that kept them alive. It turns out that she, too, was remembered.
