At the very beginning, he kills border soldiers who murdered an innocent man to steal his military merit, then marries Lin Wan'er, a stunning woman condemned as a criminal. Starting with protecting his wife in a dilapidated house and making a living through hunting, he fights local bullies, wipes out mountain bandits, brews strong liquor, and uncovers conspiracies. As the Northern Mang forces invade southward and the border army rots from within, he uses his formidable combat skills to protect his wife and build a fortune amid the chaos, carving out a path to a noble title.
