The Man in the Blue Robe

The jianghu is a world of wind and rain, and only those who weather its storms can truly roam its vast reaches. Beside the Drum Tower in the capital stands the Treasure Hall of the Wanjin Money House. The Wanjin Money House is the largest money house in the entire capital. Though the Treasure Hall is called a hall, it isn't one. But that's hardly surprising: a house so poor its owners have pawned even their bed can be called the Manor of Wealth and Honor; a river black as ink can be called the Clearwater River; and a woman as fat as a pig can be called a beauty... Those who roam the jianghu endure trials, face life and death, fight and bleed, and are swept up in storms of violence, hatred, and love. At last, they make a name for themselves and carve out a world of their own.
