On an autumn night in Linjin City, the severely wounded runaway knight-errant Guo Xie knocks on the door of Ji Shaogong. Ji Shaogong is merely a silent gatekeeper of the city walls, yet he recognizes the charges on the wanted poster and hears the pursuers closing in outside. Fully aware that harboring Guo Xie will invite mortal peril, he still treats Guo Xie's wounds, leads him through a gap in the city wall, and escorts him to a hidden boat by the Yellow River. Guo Xie believes he merely owes him a single life, only to gradually uncover that this encounter ties into the tragic destruction of Ji Shaogong's family and the trap secretly laid by the county assistant magistrate. One flees to the ends of the earth while the other remains behind in the city; when Guo Xie falls into grave danger once more, Ji Shaogong must choose between silence and rebellion.
