I'd rather be a carefree wanderer than a caged bird in the imperial court. The male lead, Jiang Daoheng, escapes death and makes his way through countless trials, meeting many friends and experiencing all sorts of interesting things: [Upholding Justice] [Building Cities and Eradicating Evil] [Martial Arena Showdowns] [Being Set Up] [Brothers in Peril] [Surviving Against All Odds]. Through life's many ups and downs, he becomes the greatest hero in the martial world. At the peak of his power, he chooses to retire from it.
The imperial court is in turmoil, the martial world is perilous, and the common people are suffering. In this turbulent age, three masters emerge to turn the tide. Their teachers are a Sword Saint, a flying-dagger heroine, and a master of poisons. Each passes on their martial arts to a disciple, hoping that one day they will put an end to the chaos.
Jiang Daoheng: A Poison Saint takes me in from the start, and every senior brother is a big shot.
