(An original wuxia ensemble story)
In the third year of the Mingji era, the emperor is consumed by his pursuit of immortality and has no interest in governing. He places great power in the hands of five chief eunuchs, and from then on, the court falls into decay and factional strife grows fierce. In a short time, many officials are brutally killed, while the people suffer amid widespread devastation.
The great general who guarded the nation returns from battle, only to have his entire family executed. His son is left homeless and adrift.
This is where the story begins.
On one side is the search for the truth behind his parents’ tragic deaths.
On the other is the infighting within the court.
With a national calamity looming,
how will those in the court face it?
As hidden currents stir through the martial world,
how will the heroes of its many schools choose their path?
One righteous and loyal soul after another rises to the fore, fighting with swords and ink!!!
