Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court
Through a hundred battles, I roam the martial world with my flute held high; heroes brave the storm, and life and death weigh little. A pair of mandarin ducks endure the silkworm’s bitter toil, while a smile blooms beside a white horse’s saddle.
Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court
There shouldn't be one absolute protagonist. Everyone has their own story. I don't want a story that revolves around one person the whole time. The villains should be strategic, and the plot logic shouldn't fall apart.

Taking the chaotic times of the late Yuan Dynasty as the background, it cleverly integrates business ethics and chivalry, breaking the inherent framework of traditional martial arts. The protagonist is involved in a dispute over a secret treasure because of the release of a spirit turtle. He not only acquires exquisite martial arts skills, but also uses his business wisdom to outwit profiteers and save the people, vividly interpreting the true meaning of "a businessman can also be a knight." The plot is intertwined with the fight for secret treasures, grievances in the world, and the love between children. The characters grow up in the choice of right and good. It not only conveys the positive values of integrity and saving the world, but the rhythm is also compact and gripping, making it a hearty read.
I wrote "The Legend of Shang Xia" because I actually wanted to answer a question that I had been thinking about for a long time: Are making money and doing good deeds necessarily contradictory? I have read too many martial arts novels where heroes spend huge sums of money, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and I am also used to the calculations, strategies, and life-and-death stories in business war stories. I was wondering, is it possible for business itself to become a force for good? Can a businessman become a true knight without giving up his calculations? Thus, the role of Huang Shunwei was born. He is not a born saint, but an ordinary person who grew up in troubled times. He holds the "Lotus Jade" that symbolizes opportunities and secrets, but what he faces is his father's practical teachings of "talking about business" and his inner impulse of "benefiting the people and the world". His entire story is about searching for the third way that can both survive and save people. The ticket numbers, water transportation, and commercial wars written in the book are not just for looks. I want to use these real "economic and people's livelihood" as a stage to discuss some issues that are still outdated today: How to innovate within the rules? How to balance interests and conscience? How can personal ideals truly change the world? If after reading this, readers can feel that "it turns out that business can be so warm", or have a broader understanding of "chivalry" - it doesn't have to be swordsmanship, doing a good job and creating a virtuous cycle is also a powerful and valuable "chivalry", then I will be very satisfied. This book can be regarded as my literary attempt at the ancient and new proposition of "Business for Good". Hope you all will like it! !
This book is a rare "anti-Shuangwen style" traditional martial arts book in Tomato! The protagonist without the golden finger is too annoying - he is not a cool male protagonist who cheats all the time, but a chivalrous man who is always upright and upright. His background of serving the country and the people directly reminds me of the martial arts flavor of watching story shows when I was a child. The author's writing is really steady, and the plot, characters, and text all have the quality of an old martial arts novel. It's a breath of fresh air to stick to this style in an environment full of fantasy and time travel! Big update soon!
An excellent work that combines history, martial arts and some fantasy elements, interpreting the meaning of the word "xia" in a unique visual way. The author's writing style is excellent, and the character creation and story rhythm are quite good. It is an excellent work worthy of careful reading [Like]
"The Legend of Shang Xia" has a strong style of Ming and Qing novels. Inherit the tradition and subvert the tradition! Use business to become a knight, and the business world becomes a battlefield for knights! Innovative and profound, it shows that the power of business can also warm the world, and that chivalry may not only involve force. Huang Shunwei used wisdom as his sword and wrote a business legend for good in troubled times! [Learned]
The setting is novel, the characters are three-dimensional and full, the plot is smooth and natural, and full of ancient connotations.
