The mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River cannot lock the ambition of Lingyun, and the diseased bones and fragments cannot trap the heart of the hero. Ling Che, the young master of the Ling family who suffered from lung disease, was unwilling to be reduced to a pawn in the family marriage. Carrying the half-cut sword and the glazed pendant left behind by his mother, he resolutely broke away from the golden cage and rushed to Shu.
The road to Shu was difficult and dangerous, filled with miasma. On the way, he met Su Ningzhi, who was dressed in red and looked like fire. She is the daughter of the Prince of Zhennan. She is beautiful and charming but hides a mystery. The silver bells jingle on her wrists, and there is an unknown mission hidden in her eyes. The two walked together, from testing each other to gradually developing a tacit understanding, but they didn't know that a bigger storm was brewing.
The King of Zhennan was framed, and Su Ningzhi's brother Su Jingchen died in the battle. The supervisory army had perjured evidence and wanted to drive out the Prince of Zhennan and kill them all. Ling Che looked at the grief, anger and despair in Su Ningzhi's eyes, and the cowardice in the past was replaced by bloodiness. He picked up the broken sword named "Broken Shadow", carried justice with his weak body, pointed the sword at Chengdu Mansion, and vowed to rectify Zhongliang's name.
The sword light split the darkness and illuminated Ling Che's path of transformation. From a sickly young man who defied his family's destiny, to a knight-errant who dared to face the king, he shook the Nanshan Mountains with one sword and moved the world with his appearance. When the war broke out again in the north, he grasped the "Shattered Shadow" sword tied with a silver bell, turned around and rushed to the border, fulfilling the oath of "making a destiny for the people of heaven" throughout his life. This is a legend about growth and redemption, a swan song in which swords and love intertwine.
