In the desolate Han Dynasty frontier of Juyan, lowborn clerk Qing is determined to clear a backlog of debts to win promotion. He targets Xu Xu, a platoon chief who claims to have repaid his loan. Qing suppresses the evidence and relentlessly persecutes Xu Xu, forging a path of ambition soaked in blood. Just as Qing touches the pinnacle of his dreams, the indelible ink on a bamboo slip brings a karmic trial that crushes his soul.
