A song of the Red Chamber leaves the heart unsatisfied; a thousand beauties share one cup and drink themselves into a daze.
In the second year of Yongzheng in the Great Zhou dynasty, the Four Princes and Eight Dukes held power, and only a century had passed since the dynasty was founded. The surrounding tribes were still strong. The soul of fourteen-year-old Liu Xianglian, the cool second son, who had completed his training and descended the mountain, was replaced by that of a modern college student who had never awoken from a dream. From then on, the cold-faced Liu Xianglian began a new life of taking vengeance and living by his own rules.
“A child taught so well may yet grow up to be a bandit.” Today, he, the cool second son, would become the greatest bandit under heaven.
It all begins when he rescues a young man aboard the ship taking Sister Lin to the Jia household...
