The Imperial Cat Rules the Jianghu

He is Zhan Zhao, the fourth-rank imperial guard who carries a sword before the throne, known as the “Imperial Cat.” Favored by the Emperor, with a bright future ahead.

In a single night, a shocking bloodbath leaves him branded with infamy, and the imperial sword bestowed upon him becomes a death sentence! Ordered to leave the capital, he steps into a perilous underworld more dangerous than the imperial court.

The martial world doesn't trust officials!

Vicious overlords see him as a lackey of the court and lay a deadly trap. His colleagues harbor sinister intentions and seek to use him as a pawn. A mastermind pulls the strings, plotting to topple the realm!

“Is my official rank an advantage, or a shackle?” Zhan Zhao grips Zhanlu, his blade cleaving through the air.

“The laws of the court cannot restrain the chivalry in my heart, and the dangers of the martial world cannot break the sharp sword in my hand!”

A white horse leaves Bianliang, its rider alone against a thousand schemes! He wields the authority of the court in the service of the martial world's cause, cutting down demons and clearing his name.

His blade sweeps away evil, and with his own hand he establishes a league of heroes! He brings the greenwood's champions to heel, unites unruly overlords, and creates the “Chivalrous Alliance,” independent of the court yet feared throughout the land!

Charged with an imperial mission, his heart is with the people! He navigates the treachery of the court and the bloodshed of the martial world, walking a tightrope between imperial power and justice as he protects the peace.

From imperial guard to leader of the martial world, from the “Imperial Cat” to the “Sword of Chivalry”!

When the ultimate mastermind reveals himself and his destined nemesis arrives, Zhan Zhao stands atop the imperial palace, his blade pointed forward as all evil flees!

The court and the martial world alike bow before him!
