A blood-written letter and half a tiger tally: he wagered his life and the law of the land.
Wei Wuji, the most dazzling young nobleman in Daliang, willingly took on the name of traitor, stealing a military tally and rescuing Handan, all for a brotherly oath made long ago. From then on, his royal brother would not accept him, and he could never return to his homeland.
On the road into exile, a woman he loved followed him through life and death, while brave men shed their blood to repay his kindness. He traveled from state to state, forging alliances and breaking them, stirring the world with his courage as he sought a way forward for the crumbling state of Wei and for an age torn apart by war.
Yet history's wheels rumbled on. In the face of an inevitable tide, an individual's loyalty and ambition were no more than a drop of blood falling into a blaze.
This is a desperate gamble played on the board of the world, and a tragic song of a hero's final days. See how Lord Xinling, with unmatched wit and courage and a heart full of sincerity, writes the final, most glorious chapter for himself, for those he loves, and for an entire age amid the blood-red dusk.
