Three years ago, swordsman Shen Guhong defeated every rival atop Mount Hua, only to be ambushed at the victory banquet. His meridians were destroyed and his martial arts lost. The martial world mocked him as the “Broken Sword,” but he spent the next three years wiping tables in a tavern. Then, one night, the mysterious proprietress Wen Jiu'er handed him a broken sword. A fragment of a sword technique was engraved on its battered blade. Shen Guhong’s fighting spirit reignited, and he began to retrain in the sword with his crippled body. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyi, a constable from the Ministry of Justice who was involved in the conspiracy all those years ago, is secretly investigating the case. His junior sister Liu Jingzhe now leads the Xuantian Sword Sect, and Yan Wujia, young master of the Northern Demons, has also entered the Central Plains. Shen Guhong knows that the day he reclaims his edge will be the day the old case is brought to light. This time, he fights not for empty fame, but to reclaim justice, break his chains, and make those people understand: though the solitary swan’s sword is broken, its heart remains unbowed.
