In the Chongzhen era, the empire teetered on the brink of collapse.
Lu Zhao, a junior officer in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was ordered to investigate the disappearance of military weapons from a frontier garrison. Unexpectedly, he uncovered a vast smuggling network spanning the garrisons, the grain transport system, and the imperial court!
A bronze clasp shaped like a beast's head led him from Jizhou to Tianjin.
Ambushed at the docks, he turned the tables on the bandits. Targeted for silencing in the imperial prison, he narrowly escaped with his life. Hunted on a snowy night, he slaughtered the enemy camp!
The investigation pointed straight to Lu Jishan, Vice Minister of War... Caught in the struggle between imperial authority and the eunuch faction, Lu Zhao brought a monstrous corrupt official to justice through his own efforts!
Promoted to Deputy Battalion Commander for his achievements? No, this was only the beginning!
The empire's troubles ran deep, and the fires of war flared again in Liaodong.
Watch as I, a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, wield the Xiuchun Saber in the twilight of a dying age and carve open a bright new world!
