In the late Northern Song dynasty, the Yellow River bursts its banks and flames of war rise everywhere. Lin Fu, a refugee, survives alone amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He establishes a stronghold in the wilderness of western Henan and fights to survive, rallying local volunteers, resisting bandits, and reclaiming farmland. Through sheer courage, he secures a foothold. When the Jin army invades south, he leads the stronghold’s finest troops into battle, cutting down enemy commanders and seizing their banners amid vast armies. From an unknown foot soldier, he rises to command an army, founding the Invaders’ Bane Army and winning renown along the frontier. He pacifies the people, carves out a domain to stand against the Jin, and uses an iron hand to bring order to a chaotic age, ushering in a new era of prosperity.
This is an epic tale of a refugee from the lowest rung of society rising to power, and a bloodstained elegy for the lands of the Great Song. Watch Lin Fu, a nobody in a world thrown into chaos, claim the power of life and death and decide the fate of a vast realm!
