A Cold Moon and a Long Blade Reflecting Her Red Robes

Bai Xueying, chief escort of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, is unexpectedly swept into a conspiracy spanning the capital region and the frontier. From the bloody sacrificial secrets of Blackwind Stronghold in the northern frontier, to the mystery surrounding the Moon Gazing Tower amid the misty Jiangnan rains, and then the sinister Gu-raising cave in Snow Lotus Valley of the Western Regions, she joins forces with the quick-witted Bai Ling, the steady Ling Xiao, and the Gu arts expert Wulan. Step by step, they uncover the Dragon Subduing Pavilion and Prince Rui’s ambitions to seize the throne, along with royal secrets left behind by her maternal grandfather.

With forbidden technique fragments, a soul-guarding jade heart, and a hidden military passage concealed in a light-transmitting mirror, their clues intertwine as they break Gu curses, protect the loyal, and settle old grievances. Amid flashing blades, they also safeguard the peace of the trade routes. When every conspiracy has finally been laid to rest, the Zhenyuan Escort Agency’s banner still snaps in the wind, bearing witness to the long road of the martial world and carrying on the legend of protecting the nation and its people.
