The Era of Peace and Prosperity

[Alternate History] [Hardcore Traditional Style] [No System] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Revenge and Comeback] [Political Scheming and Wits]

Chen Luo lost his parents at the age of eight, and his military family was unjustly accused. Fortunately, Zhou Chongshan, the owner of a martial arts school in Cangzhou, took him in, and he honed his body and skills in the rough-and-tumble streets. At sixteen, he went to the capital for the martial arts imperial examination and won first place in a single battle. He rode out to the northwestern wilderness and slew his enemies with his spear, making a name for himself across the borderlands. After two years of enduring hardship and bloodshed, the young general returned home in a seventh-rank scarlet robe, honored and victorious, only to find his mentor murdered, the martial arts school reduced to ashes, his senior fellow disciple crippled and sent into military service, and his junior sister disgraced and imprisoned!

The so-called golden age was nothing but a slaughterhouse where the powerful sucked the blood of the people. An 'Edict Abolishing Martial Arts' crushed the spirit of countless lowborn martial artists. Facing the powerful and corrupt leaders of the New Party and a hypocritical county magistrate, Chen Luo levels his iron spear and grips the dragon scales, carving out a path to survival in the purgatory between the law of the land and private vengeance: He enters the game through martial arts and overturns this man-eating empire!
