The Cauldron in Troubled Times: a Beggar's Journey to Unify the Nine Cauldrons

I am a beggar, A Qi, among the Yin Mountains and Pu Rivers, and my life is like grass. Until I picked up that piece of bronze that should not exist in the world, until I gritted my teeth and replaced that noble young man in trouble. From then on, I embarked on a road of stealing the country from which there was no turning back. From the muddy street battles in the border town of Jijin, to the barren fiefdoms that are in ruins and waiting to be renovated; from the chess game of the princes joining forces, to the bloody overlord's conquest. As a beggar, I carry out the emperor's plan. When the beacon smoke cleared, I stood in front of the Jiuding, stroking the cold fragment in my arms that had led me along the way, and suddenly realized that all of this might have just begun.
