In 1935, Shen Zhao, the eldest daughter of northern Guizhou's foremost escort agency, is ordered to join the Shoulder-Pole Corps, fighting alongside Zhou Qiwei, the Red Army's leading economic expert. They lead a force of more than a hundred people, carrying gold, silver, printing presses, and account books on shoulder poles. These are the Red Army's possessions and, more importantly, the lifeblood of its economy. Over thousands of miles, they join forces to survive seemingly hopeless crises when their entire army faces annihilation, win allies through trust when surrounded on all sides, and break through blockades with clever, open strategies when every step forward seems impossible. Fighting side by side through life and death, they gradually develop genuine feelings for each other. But their mission weighs more heavily than romance. Under gunfire, she protects him; in desperate circumstances, he gives her faith.
