The Princes' Beacon Fire: One Sword to Decide the Fate of the Realm

In the turbulent, fictional Great Zhou, King Ji Gongsu lights the beacons at Mount Li as a political ploy, only to bring the Quanrong through the city gates and plunge the feudal lords into a struggle for power. Bao Si, who carries the burden of a family grudge, enters the palace with a Cloud-Piercing Bow and a Tiger Tally, concealing her sharp edge. Ten masters of weapons, including the Sword Immortal, Spear Saint, and Blade God, roam the martial world. Some help the royal house quell the unrest; others join the feudal lords in their struggle for supremacy. Meanwhile, dark sects such as the Axe Fiend and Whip Fiend conspire with foreign powers, dragging the realm into a hell of blood and fire. The power games at the beacon towers will draw emperors, beauties, and heroes alike into a thousand-year calamity: "It is easy to fool the feudal lords, but hard to defend the realm."
