The prosperity of the Dajing Dynasty is gradually declining, the imperial power is shaky, traitors are in power in the court, banditry in southern Xinjiang and foreign barbarians are waiting for opportunities, and the undercurrent is surging in the world.
The Dingnan Prince's Mansion, which has been guarding the gateway to southern Xinjiang for generations, is full of loyal people, armed with heavy soldiers and peerless swordsmanship. However, because of its great achievements, it has shaken the lord, and has been jealous of the royal family. Prime Minister Liu Song and his party are gradually undermining him, and the family is in danger. The prince, Shen Hanjiang, was trying to protect himself from Zang Feng, pretending to be a playboy and idle, not interested in military affairs or practicing martial arts, thus hiding it from the eyes and ears of the world.
He planned with forbearance and worked step by step in the gap between the temple and the world. Wandering around the capital to strategize and banquet, uncovering the conspiracy of traitors; traveling in the rivers and lakes of southern Xinjiang, meeting knights and counselors, and retrieving the inheritance of the Shen family's swordsmanship; rushing to the border to quell chaos and fend off enemies, and protect the peace of the people there.
From a clumsy prince to a peerless master of sword art, Shen Hanjiang uses his heart as his chess and his sword as his blade to break the court's conspiracy, put an end to disputes in the rivers and lakes, and uphold the justice of his family and country. It describes the ups and downs of the princes in troubled times and the iron-blooded character of the Jianghu knights. Finally, with his sharp edge, he protects the blood of Zhongliang and determines the world of southern Xinjiang, composing a soul-stirring Hanjiang Sword Song.
