In the fifth year of Yongjia, the Xiongnu invaded Luoyang, a century-old family collapsed, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers wept with blood.
In the torrent of crossing south, Cui Heng, the second son of the Cui family in Qinghe, and Liu Wenshu, a poor student, were once "classmates" in Taixue who had never spoken to each other despite their hierarchy and prejudice.
A man, under the protection of his family, had foresight and went south to find a paradise to settle down;
A man with only a donkey cart and a family full of old and weak people is struggling to find a slim chance of survival in troubled times.
Destiny caused the two to meet again on the official road littered with corpses, to stand side by side amidst the cries of fighting for the lead at the ferry, and to trust each other with their lives under the swords of broken soldiers and rogue bandits.
From Luoyang to Wujun, thousands of miles of beacon smoke and white bones cover the fields.
He is the bowl of hot porridge handed to him on a snowy night, and the arrow that saves his life in desperate situations;
He was his way of survival in exchange for the whole family's future before crossing the ferry, and he was the only support he could trust in his lonely boat in the middle of the river.
Troubled times are like a furnace, refining truth and falsehood, and also tempering the sincerity.
When the war breaks out and the shadow of the new dynasty falls over the south of the Yangtze River, is the name of the former "classmate" enough to cross the gap of family status and hold on to the throbbing that originated in the blood and fire and cannot be tolerated in the world in the unrest?
Purpose: In an era of strict hierarchy and constant war, two young men from Yunni broke away from the shackles of the world in a desperate situation. Starting as "classmates" and trusting each other with their lives, they jointly pursue the glimmer of humanity and sincerity in the troubled times.
