Chronicles of the Mountain and Lake: Yuanqi

When you're in the jianghu, you don't get to choose what happens to you. When you're outside it, the jianghu won't leave you alone. Once you enter the jianghu, half your fate lies in its hands and half in your own heart. The jianghu is something you would rather not see, yet cannot avoid. When kinship and friendship face hardship, danger, temptation, and self-interest, do you choose to break apart or face them together? Here, you'll find a different answer. Life isn't about how much you have, but how much you're willing to shoulder. Don't rush. What is meant to come will come in time, and what you can't hold on to was often never yours to begin with.
