War broke out amid the flames of the Five Dynasties. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun fell to the northern tribes, while the Central Plains were swept by iron horses and icy rivers, and the martial world seethed with hidden schemes and intrigue. The young Gu Jinzhou carried the Zhen Guan Jade and waited for three years in the bamboo grove at Qinghe. What came instead was a black-clad figure who stole the jade, and an old case at Zhongdu Bridge brought to light by a mysterious letter.
A descendant of loyal and honorable men, he lost his home when Qianye, the enchantress of the Embroidered Gold Pavilion, razed the Immortal’s Abode in a great fire. Now homeless, he bears the legacy of an unnamed sword style and the mission entrusted to him by a mysterious jade pendant, seeking the truth of his origins amid the undercurrents of the martial world...
The daughter of a fallen military family carries on her family’s secret arts and upholds the last glory of the Yanbei Alliance as a woman. She and Gu Jinzhou meet in the martial world because of the mysterious organization known as the Embroidered Gold Pavilion. This force, which commands the sinister art of dream puppets and seeks to overthrow the entire realm, is extending its poison-tipped claws into the Central Plains.
From the love of country and home embodied by a clinic for the living to the flames of war at Zhongdu Bridge, from the clash between Buddhism and Taoism at Buddha’s Peak to the surging undercurrents in Bianliang, the hero seeks the Way through the sword while the heroine lays her plans with cunning. On the journey to reclaim the lost lands of Yanyun, they face contests of wit and courage amid flashing blades, while their fierce yet tender hearts reveal a deep devotion to their country and people. When personal vendettas collide with a shattered realm, this pair of heroes will prove the Way with their lives: until Yanyun is reclaimed, how can there be a home?
Rooted in real history and animated by the spirit of the martial world, this book faithfully recreates the grand vision of Where Winds Meet while portraying the chivalrous hearts that shine amid turmoil. See how the hero and heroine wield the martial world like a blade to cut through the shackles of fate, and anchor themselves in love as they watch over a broken land, composing a stirring song of love for country and home amid the flames of war.
Why are you still so sharp? It's a pity that it still hasn't been resolved. I'd like to ask again. Do you want to be clean? Why is the previous description so ambiguous? (What does it mean to be favored? Even though it's in quotation marks, the heroine is still very frightened after recalling it. The heroine was abused by Li Zuo? It's directly followed later. Li Zuo, are you worthy of Liu Qingyi? You, an old man, are already 70 years old 😠) Why don't you kill Qianye, the one who killed a thousand swords [punch] 😠 and return my red line 😢 😢 😢 How to write a plot when we arrive in Kaifeng? Will the heroine also go? Could it be that Aunt Han had plotted against her? 🍉
