The Sword Heroes of Great Ming

During the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty, word spread of a treasure map belonging to Chen Youliang, and martial arts factions across the land scrambled to claim it.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard searched for the treasure, extorted the wealthy, and secretly sold sea salt, flouting the law and abusing its power. Zhou Haoran, the Zhejiang Surveillance Commissioner, and his entire family were murdered. Their orphaned child wandered the world, growing stronger through hardship. Jiang Xue, whose origins were unknown, shared life and death with him, and their love ran deep. Only later did he learn that the father of the woman he loved was his sworn enemy, the man who had brought his family a sea of blood and vengeance.

Xiao Yu, son of Ningbo tycoon Xiao Boyong, had been a carefree young master who spent his days drinking and watching opera. His cousin Xiuxiu secretly fell for him, but her love went unanswered. Together with Ma Mengyao, daughter of the Ming Cult's leader, he sailed west with Zheng He and found a love that endured even in the face of death.

Zhao Cezhi, a descendant of Zhang Shicheng, possessed extraordinary cunning and peerless martial arts, and united the entire martial world. Mu Ying, daughter of the Yunnan Mu family, fell deeply in love with him, while he became entangled with A*mei, leader of the Poison Cult. His layered identities and multifaceted personality charted his transformation from hero to *bear. The lust for power twisted his humanity, and though he spent his life trying to restore his dynasty, his dream came to nothing.
