[Duty to Country and People] [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger] [Alternate History] [The Hundred Schools of Thought] [High-Octane Action] [Revenge and Comeback] [Martial Arts]

Outmaneuver corrupt ministers, repel foreign invaders, bring peace to the people. When the Benevolent Sword is drawn, all nine provinces are pacified!

The fourth prince, a celebrated war hero, had just quelled the rebellion in Xiting when the Crown Prince summoned him back to the capital with a marriage decree. On the way home, a martial arts grandmaster shattered every meridian in his body with his bare hands. His ten loyal comrades all died protecting the Fourth Prince as he tried to break through.

The court announced that he had fallen in battle, but a red-robed Sword Immortal traveling the world after leaving the mountain saved him with a strand of sword energy, allowing him to cling to life.

The once-mighty God of War was forced to hide his identity. He happened upon Mu Beibei and Mu Nannan, orphans of Xiting, who saved his life.

Beneath the warmth of their life-saving kindness lay a fated love and hatred, soaked in the blood of their homeland.

Wen Qiwù, the female general guarding the north, saw through his disguise and entrusted him with military command, silently protecting him as he protected her in return.

Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and Mohism contended with one another; aristocratic clans were deeply entrenched at court, while the princes fought a bloody struggle for the throne.

The Crown Prince framed him, brothers turned against each other, noble families made things difficult, and foreign barbarians, the Demon Cult, and the Witch God Cult all watched hungrily as an apocalyptic calamity drew ever closer.

So what if his meridians were ruined? In the depths of despair, Xiao An tempered his bones and cleansed his heart, biding his time and plotting as he battled the Crown Prince, quelled rebellions, and reformed corrupt policies.

He entered the court and seized power, returned to the northern frontier to carve out his own kingdom, and rallied heroes from all nine provinces to resist their enemies.

In the bloody war for the Nine Provinces, countless martial arts masters fell on the battlefield, and their legacy nearly vanished. Before the greater cause of saving the people, personal love and hatred finally faded away.

He navigated the whirlpool of political intrigue, endured bloody battles, and brought together the great paths of every school.

From a discarded prince with shattered meridians, he rose step by step to the throne, ultimately breaking through a martial arts barrier lost for a hundred years and becoming the supreme master of the Benevolent Sword Dao, the pinnacle of the Nine Realms.
