Patriotic student Hua Min Chu has a marriage contract with Miss Zhong Yao as the two grew up with each other.
After graduating from college, Hua Min Chu rejects the job Zhong Yao arranged for him, intending to pave a career for himself.
He accidentally obtains the “Painting of the Ten Walkers” of unknown origin, and thus gets to know people like Miss Xi Shui and Zhang Yu.
Hua Min Chu discovers that his life is closely related to the painting. He also finds that the people in the “low-level industry” who he just met as friends could contribute their own strength to the cause of saving the country. Therefore, he keeps the scroll and takes on the role of “scroll bearer”.
Hua Min gradually grows up after facing all these events. During this time, Xi Shui accompanies him the entire way, and he gradually understood the sincerity of love.
At the same time, the conspiracy caused by evil Hua Yu Zhi is gradually revealed. Min Chu falls into a deep dilemma and Xi Shui gets seriously injured.
Min Chu and his friends take on the responsibility of patriotic salvation and learns about national justice. Together, they break up the other party’s conspiracy.
Min Chu also makes everyone understand the truth they have been pursuing: deny oneself, dedicate oneself to the rise of China.
