The True Dragon of Chaotic Times

During the Yongjia southward migration, the Five Barbarians ravaged China. The Central Plains were in turmoil, and the people were no more than ants.

Luoyang lay in ruins, and the times had grown harsh. Refugees surged like a tide, bandits roamed unchecked, and the Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di surrounded the Central Plains as the Nine Provinces fractured into chaos.

Chen Ji, an orphan born among famine-stricken refugees, claws his way through the troubled times, surviving with a cold blade and a colder heart.

From a murderous servant in Luoyang's shadowy alleys, to a scheming raven, and then to a warlord in his own right, he spins webs and lays plots amid rivers of blood. He manipulates people with cunning and forges the name of a ruthless wolf with iron and blood.
