In the late 1860s, the Anglo-French Allied Forces occupied Jiaodong, and local militia leader Guan Datian led a rebellion that was suppressed. Years later, his sons Guan Liang (played by Yu Xiaowei) and Guan Shui (played by Zhao Yi) grow up and, unable to avenge their father, are wanted by the authorities, forcing them to embark on the journey to the East. The patriotic county magistrate Jiang Shida (played by Ma Yingchun) is demoted and exiled; before leaving, he advises his daughter Xue Zhu (played by Xu Cuicui) to find her adoptive father Zhang Huaiyuan (played by Wang Huichun) in the East. Guan Liang and Guan Shui arrive at the Golden Mountain Barracks in the East to work, and Guan Liang's intelligence catches the attention of Zhang Huaiyuan. Meanwhile, in their hometown, Guan's mother (played by Sarina) and Guan Ying (played by Yan Xuejing) also leave their village due to repercussions. On the way, Guan's mother passes away, prompting Guan Ying to start her own journey to the East, where she meets the local hero Han Laoda (played by Zhao Jun), and they form a partnership. To escape from the authorities, with Zhang Huaiyuan's help, Guan Liang and Guan Shui flee from Golden Mountain, and in the deep mountains, they encounter the Oroqen people who are gold prospecting. From then on, they begin their gold mining career in Lao Jindong...
