In this jianghu and imperial court, some defeat thousands with a single sword stroke, some capture all the elegance and romance of life over a pot of wine, some guard a city alone while waiting for an opponent, and some shake the heavens with one hand and defy the immortals. Some sit in high office, directing the fate of the realm in all their glory, only to have it all shattered by the protagonist's blade. This is a jianghu of flashing steel and a court of intrigue and deceit. More than that, it is a world of loyalty and affection, of ordinary people and the mortal world.
