The Big Dipper Shines High

A chaotic age is both a hothouse where heroes grow and a tomb where they are buried. It is a tragic song of defiance sung by countless people of the time, and a dazzling clash of blades amid ceaseless wars.

In a century of turmoil, the Great Xia dynasty carved out territory in the northeast. This poor, weak kingdom had somehow forged an exceptionally powerful army...

More than a decade ago, in a decisive battle that would determine the fate of the Great Xia dynasty, General Li Huaiyi used the gleaming Big Dipper in the night sky to find his bearings, then launched a nighttime raid on the enemy camp and won a great victory.

More than a decade later, the son of a military family has come of age. This young man, nicknamed “Little Beidou,” will grow up alongside this turbulent era...

The night is long, the wind howls, and the raiders flee through the snow.

Whip raised, long sword aloft, the Big Dipper shines high above.
