In the Name of This Jianghu

Think this is In the Name of the People? No, this is In the Name of the Jianghu! Here, the imperial court is the jianghu, and the jianghu is the imperial court!

In this novel blending wuxia, fantasy, and political intrigue, the author creates a high-martial world where strength is measured by levels of martial cultivation. The story follows Qin Xiaren. On the surface, he is a security guard at Linhai High School, but he is secretly a first-rate martial artist. With his lifespan nearly at an end, Qin Xiaren accepts his mentor Gao Yuliang’s recommendation to go to Handong University, where he is swept into the political storm engulfing Handong Province. There, he also unexpectedly activates a “Bronze Gate” golden finger that allows him to transmigrate to other worlds.

The novel unfolds through two parallel storylines, bringing together the jianghu’s thrilling feuds and the court’s schemes and rivalries. With his worldly cunning and hidden strength, Qin Xiaren navigates among the various powers. The author deftly combines traditional wuxia with modern elements, using a witty, humorous style to depict a jianghu that is both absurd and passionate. As the protagonist grows and the world’s secrets gradually come to light, readers are presented with a sweeping portrait of the martial world.
