Name: Chronicles of Swords and Storms in the Jianghu
Author: Fragrant Sword Rain

Synopsis

(A traditional, purely classical wuxia story + romance + thrilling revenge + feuds and grudges + love and hate + criminal investigations + treasure hunting)

(This is not a fictional setting. It takes place during the Tianqi era of the Ming dynasty. The platform automatically added the “alternate history” tag after the contract was signed.)

Someone once asked: What is the jianghu? What is The Record of Wind and Rain?

The jianghu is wherever people are. Where there are people, there are feuds and grudges, human relationships, and martial artists. That is the jianghu.

The Record of Wind and Rain refers to a token called the Wind and Rain Order. The order contains a treasure map, and martial artists kill one another over it. In truth, the Wind and Rain Order is part of a grand conspiracy by Wei Zhongxian and the Japanese pirates. What is this conspiracy?

After Ye Qingli, daughter of the master of Donghai Mountain Manor in Hangzhou, joins the Xinfeng Escort Agency, the agency is wiped out because of the Wind and Rain Order. Seriously wounded, she is rescued by Li Yucheng, a wandering knight-errant who is also a healer. They fall in love over time. After learning of the conspiracy behind the Wind and Rain Order, they venture into the jianghu to warn the martial artists. They make many friends along the way, become entangled in feuds and grudges, and take part in a martial arts tournament. Will anyone in the jianghu be tricked while searching for treasure because of the Wind and Rain Order? What conspiracy lies behind the order?

The Demon Cult was defeated ten years ago. Ten years later, its young leader, Xu Muyao, wants to reform the cult, but martial artists believe the Wind and Rain Order is the cult's plot, throwing the jianghu into turmoil once more. Xu Muyao meets Li Yucheng. Can they finally put an end to this cycle of revenge and slaughter?

What treasure lies within the map? What secret does it conceal? Li Yucheng's true identity turns out to be... The answer is in my novel.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
