Features: "The Dragon" and "The Tiger" are both considered "divine creatures" in China. Mao Zedong chose He Long and Lin Biao to "guard the four directions" of the new republic, hoping for a scene of dragon soaring and tiger leaping. However, it turned out that the two "fierce warriors" were not only different in temperament but also in nature. In the "dragon vs. tiger" struggle, each had a woman behind them—two extraordinary women. Xue Ming and Ye Qun were once friends but became irreconcilable enemies, turning into a pair of "dead rivals." He Long and Xue Ming, Lin Biao and Ye Qun—two pairs bound together in prison ("sharing a white head in prison") and two pairs destined to die together in Mongolia ("sharing a grave in Mongolia").
