Fox Treading Snow

In the late Ming and early Qing, beyond the Liaodong Pass, snow blankets the frontier and horse bandits run rampant. The local authorities are corrupt and incompetent, and the people are driven from their homes. Young Shen Feihu is the son of a border garrison commander. After his father intercepts a secret letter revealing collusion between horse bandits and officials, he is framed for treason and his entire family is executed. A loyal servant saves Shen Feihu at the cost of his life, and the young man hides deep in the snowy wilderness, mastering the saber and bearing a blood feud.
