War raged, and the dynasty fell. Centurion Hu Lie of the border army escorted the prince to break out of the encirclement, but his deputy commander Fang Zhenbei defected on the battlefield. The entire army was wiped out and the prince died. Hu Lie was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason. He took the prince's orphan with him and was hunted down by the imperial cavalry all over the world.
Fang Zhenbei is not a power-hungry person. He firmly believes that "troubled times require an iron fist, and kindness will only lead to greater disasters." He slaughtered the whole city just to force Hu Lie out; he laid a dragnet just to eradicate the weeds. In his logic, the more Hu Lie fights to the death, the more he proves that the other party is a stumbling block to the empire's "unity and order."
Hu Lie didn't understand justice. He only knew that the loyal person died, but the promise could not be lost. He has no escape route, only a way of escape. He was seriously wounded, had no reinforcements, no supplies, was intercepted in front, and pursued behind. The only thing he can rely on is his "Oven Furnace" golden finger that can absorb the energy of gold and iron and smelt bones and flesh in desperate situations.
From a lonely soldier in a border town to a desperado, from a wanted traitor to a leader who reunites people's hearts in troubled times. He doesn't need Fang Zhenbei's approval. He wants to use his own way to turn this path of exile into a path of counterattack.
