The open rivalry between two families has lasted for thousands of years. Is it caused by a legacy written into their blood, or is it the work of destiny?
A passionate young man dominates the world for a time, invincible wherever he goes. But he never expects a young woman in the bloom of youth to strike him down with a single sword and launch a surprise attack against the tide, leaving only a vast realm to be swept away by wind and rain.
A whirlwind of wild twists and sudden changes, an incredible cycle of victory and defeat, the loves and hatreds of family and country, and love and resentment in turn. In moments of joy and anger, some become kings while others are vanquished; with every smile and frown, flames and smoke rise across the land...
The workings of fate among mortals and the soul-shaking power of heaven and earth unfold in a series of extraordinary tales, recounting stories of life one after another.
