Xiao Shuying studied hard for ten years,
traveling a thousand miles to the capital for the imperial exam,
all to earn second place,
and fulfill his dream of wielding his brush like a sword,
becoming a virtuous minister who would make his mark at court!
But when he first arrived in the capital,
what could have made the prime minister, The Outcast,
lay a vicious hand on him?
And how did he escape the prime minister’s clutches?
At court, they call him the destroyer of corrupt officials!
In the martial world, they call him the reaper of demons!
In another realm, they call him the creator of paradise!
