[Comprehensive Martial Arts (Some timelines will be brought into alignment)] [No Female Lead (Sorry, the author is single and can't write romance)] [No Transmigration]
Shen Xiao, the second young master of a Suzhou clan, is broad-shouldered and imposing, with a fierce look about him. He has mastered the Shaolin hard-body arts and also practices military saber techniques. Outgoing and unrestrained, he is shrewd beneath his rough exterior, and never lets the rules of the martial world or conventional morality constrain his actions. Tired of the hypocrisy and cutthroat rivalry among Jiangnan's great families, he uses his uncle's connections as a Vice Minister of Personnel to secretly leave home and travel to Guanzhong, where he takes up a post as a ninth-rank patrol inspector.
