In a chaotic, turbulent era of beacon fires and barren years, corpses littered the fields, border troubles and internal rebellions erupted one after another, and human life was as cheap as grass. A distressed youth was rescued by a mature woman with a pair of young daughters, and the two became husband and wife. This frowned-upon marriage of an older wife and a younger husband took root in a barren, desolate village. The youth unexpectedly awakened the talent of a killing god, starting from the ranks and fighting through blood and carnage, carving out a path of survival for his wife and children with the long blade in his hand. The woman was gentle yet resolute, managing the household and guarding the family business to become his most stable rear guard. Clinging to each other, the two rose against the trend all the way from an insignificant barren village, fighting for a stable world belonging to a family of their own in the troubled times.
