Synopsis

It's much easier to fight your way into Chang'an than to pass the exams and get in!

In the late Tang dynasty, powerful clans monopolized privilege, eunuchs held sway, regional warlords carved up the empire, the court was corrupt, and the people were destitute.

After failing the imperial examinations time and again, he furiously wrote: “A heavenly fragrance fills Chang'an, and the whole city is clad in golden armor.”

With nowhere left to retreat, he might as well risk everything! He raised the banner of rebellion and swept across half the empire, only to lose himself in pleasure after entering Chang'an.

When Zhu Wen rebelled and the Tang army counterattacked, he was trapped in Tiger-Wolf Valley.

The setting sun was red as blood. The dragon slayer had become a dragon himself. What fate awaited this mighty hero?
