Cheng Gujin

The smoke of gunfire is crossing the south, and the undercurrent of Bozhou, the capital of medicine, is surging. Japanese spy Ichiro Ono came with the name of "East Asian Medicine Planting" and wanted to cut off the Chinese medicine industry with commercial war. Lu Cheng, the president of the Bozhou Pharmaceutical Dealers Association, originally wanted to abide by his ancestral precepts and take care of himself. However, the iron hooves of the Japanese army trampled their hometown to pieces, and their beloved wife was burned to death in order to protect the thousand-year-old pharmacopoeia, leaving only scorched earth and loneliness. Homes are destroyed, loved ones are gone forever. Lu Cheng rose from the ashes and transformed from a gentle medicine merchant into a lonely warrior. He put down the scales, picked up the Hidden Blade, and formed a life-and-death alliance with Bai Shouye, the leader of the Guohe Gang who controlled water and land. Dealing openly and secretly - using medicinal materials as weapons, using trade routes as a battlefield, and delivering life-saving medicine to the front line under the tight blockade of the Japanese army. This is a war without gunpowder but more cruel. Betrayal, sacrifice, bearing humiliation... Lu Cheng endured a lonely mission in the fire. When all shelters turn to ashes, he is the only unquenched fire in the ashes. Bearing the calamity fire alone, one lineage continues through the Spring and Autumn Period. See how a commoner, with his mortal body, protects the spark of civilization, and burns an immortal light for his family and country in the darkest moment.
