Dao Ma, branded the empire’s second-most-wanted fugitive, accepts a perilous escort commission and sets out towards Chang’an with a small band of companions, only to discover that the person under their protection is Zhishilang — the most hunted outlaw in the realm. As rumours spread, opportunists and warlords converge, each driven by profit or power, turning the journey into a relentless chain of ambushes, shifting alliances, and bloodshed beneath the unforgiving sands.
