The Blood Ledger

He was once the strongest liquor in the capital, the swiftest horse, and the carefree third young master of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household.

A demonic blaze that wiped out his family reduced him to ashes everyone could trample on.

Three years later, he returned from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the northern frontier, carrying an aura of violence that would never wash away and the fearsome title of “Butcher.” Everyone thought he had gone mad, but no one knew that he had never been clearer-minded.

A blood-red ledger documenting treason and the overturning of the natural order was the only blade in his hands.

With it, he would knock on his enemies’ doors and tear away the hypocritical masks of the court, staining even those lofty “upright officials” in the foulest blood.

With his butcher’s blade raised and a road paved with bones, would he become a lone hero who set the world right, or... be consumed by hatred and become the next tyrant?

This is a tale of revenge that begins in hell.
