Synopsis

[Jianghu]+ [Imperial Court]+ [Wuxia]

A heart brimming with righteousness, a wind that sweeps a thousand miles, a single sword stroke to slay a man, then vanishing without a trace.

“Hard it is to cross the mountains and passes,”

“Who will grieve for one who has lost his way?”

“Chance encounters between strangers,”

“Yet all are travelers far from home.” No words could better capture the state of this troubled age.

He still remembered that year, when his master wrote a character in the courtyard with a branch.

“This character is pronounced xia.”

“You mean the xia in great hero?” Li Jingchuan asked curiously.

“The character has the radical for ‘person’ on the left, representing a person’s actions. On the right is the character for ‘to assist’: a large person supporting two smaller ones. It means that the strong help the weak.”

Listening to his master, he was too young to understand it all.

“So that’s why the character xia is written this way,” Li Jingchuan said, only half understanding.

“In this troubled age, many people have xia in their hearts, but it means something different to each of them.”

“Why each person wields the sword in their hand is something you must seek out the answer to for yourself.”

Looking for Wuxia Stories Set in the Jianghu, with Great Prose and a Good Plot, No Romance

I want good writing and a good plot. I just can’t stand wuxia stories that are all about romance. That’s not the jianghu Gu Long and Jin Yong gave me!!!
