Rivers and Mountains Like Mist, a Dream of the Jianghu

Mountains and rivers are like smoke, the martial world like a dream.

In this martial world, there is Li Fuyao, the Sword God in white as snow, and Han Qianye, the Blade Demon who can overpower all heroes. The Buddhist sect, Daoists, Sword Sect, Dark Night, Yellow Springs, and myriad Flower Palace vie and scheme against one another. How will Xia Yang, the new Dragon Lord of Dark Night, rise above the rest?

In this realm, there is a mighty lord of Northern Liao who longs to cross the Heavenly River and water his horses in the Chu River. There is a general of Southern Chu who watches the north from across the river, poised to strike. There are the iron cavalry of Xiliang, second to none, the Ye warriors who fight to the death without retreat, and the Northern Wild Goose Riders who range across the world. In this age of chaos, how will Xia Yang, a prince of Qin, unite the realm?

The martial world is the hearts of men; the realm is the hearts of the people.

Love and hatred, passion and vengeance, splendid mountains and rivers: their timeless tales can never be fully told.

Tender affections, carefree adventures in the martial world: none can sever the ties of this mortal world.

Drink this bowl of Guanshan snow, and step into the martial world with me. Here, you will find the shadows of many people, including ordinary people like you and me.
