In the third year of Jian Ning in the Eastern Han, Zhao Huai’an was born frail, so his clan condemned him to death and branded him a worthless son of a troubled age.
He endured seven years of waiting in vain, finally letting go of his obsession with gaining a golden finger and accepting that he was merely an ordinary commoner.
His nature is self-serving, and he wants to watch life and death unfold without getting involved. But his heart is soft by nature, and he cannot abandon the remains of his hometown friends and confidants.
His whole life is a struggle between two impossible choices, a lifetime of inner turmoil. He dares neither to be entirely kind nor completely heartless.
Fortunately, through all the turmoil of this chaotic age, there is always a Changshan spear to shield him from its bitter winds and take on the dangers of the world for him.
With no fate’s favor and no cheat to rely on, he owes the chance to live out his days in peace entirely to Zilong’s special affection.
