(This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. The plot isn't dumbed down, and the protagonist isn't a self-righteous saint. Don't read if that's not for you.)
The martial world is like bubbles released by fish swimming in clear water: fleeting, yet intricately tangled. The human heart is like a sudden ripple in that clear water, snuffing out bubbles and settling the dust.
The lights are fading, and the newcomers are nothing like those who came before. Blades flash, and schemes and betrayals keep emerging.
A young swordsman returns, pointing his sword at the empress to avenge the humiliation of his years as a wanderer.
In a pavilion high in the mountains, the contest grows fierce and the game shifts unpredictably.
In an ancient, ruined temple, the Candle Dragon statue keeps its eyes shut. A bitter night is coming.
In that bitter night, everyone must choose how to survive...
Will you be a bird in a cage, trading freedom for a comfortable life?
Or a fish in a pond, waiting for an angler's baited hook?
Or will you forge a coat of feathers, face death head-on, and become a moth that flies into the flames, sealing its own doom?
A new pavilion rises from the ruins. When others ask about its former glory, remember to answer:
“The road through the martial world is long. Please, don't ask...”
It's really good to watch, with a compact plot and very distinct characters. Even a small character who only appears once is described with flesh and blood. The author's writing is also good, and the description of the martial arts plot is very delicate. The current plot is still centered around Chang'an City. I am looking forward to the development of the subsequent story. I'm used to reading too many cookie-cutter cool articles, so let's take a look at this fantasy martial arts group portrait article. It's really addictive. If you are short of books, or are tired of reading mindless and enjoyable writing, I really recommend reading this kind of writing that focuses on the story itself.
