This is a world of vast rivers and mountains, where heroes abound, and an age of shifting currents in the imperial court, with the halls of power and the martial world entangled in endless conflict. The young Lu Qingya has been homeless since childhood, until an eccentric swordsman unexpectedly gives him a wooden sword and sets him on a path of sword cultivation destined to be extraordinary. The balance of power across the realm is shifting: the Northern Yin Dynasty is in decline but poised to rise again, while the mighty Great Sheng Dynasty seethes with undercurrents. Border tribes and immortal sects from across the sea are all on guard. Bearing the name “Sword Bone,” Lu Qingya travels among martial arts schools, the River and Mountain Sword Sect, Zibi Academy, and the treacherous affairs of the imperial court. His fate becomes entwined with Zhong Xiao, a rising star of the Saber Sect; Xue Li, the daughter of an official; and Sang Qingqing, a desert princess. Step by step, he shoulders the chivalrous duty of standing up when no one else will.
As greed and ambition, shadowy schemes, and grand wars of flashing blades intertwine across the land, what secret lies within the young man's wooden sword? How will old grudges and supreme immortal arts stir the fate of all living things? Watch Lu Qingya temper himself at every turn, rise against adversity, draw his sword for the realm, and roam the world upholding justice.
