He is the Queen of Heroes and the only survivor in the Blood Prison of the Lonely City.
Zhang Chengying, the son of Suiyang guard Zhang Xun, was entrusted with one last word on the night when the city was destroyed: "Stay alive and see the world clearly."
Is the "loyalty" that my father insists on a monument paved with thousands of flesh and blood, or a sin that violates human ethics? This burden of honor and guilt has become his lifelong nightmare.
From then on, he entered the world with a sword.
The family-inherited killing swordsmanship conflicts with the Taoist transcendent mind in his body; the grievances of the world and the disputes with the court draw him into a new whirlpool. When the shadow of history comes again and another city faces the same desperate situation as Suiyang, he must make a choice——
Will he become the second Zhang Xun and repeat the tragedy on the altar of loyalty?
Or use the sword in your hand to find your own way of "blood defense"?

The novel is very delicately written and the story is well laid out, making it a direct and long-term read.
