    From a gambler who crawled out of the mud of Jingkou to the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu's life is a magnificent and epic tale. This novel, using the mysterious perspective of the "Diviner with a Sword," intertwines the weight of history with the enigma of fate: the bloody massacre at Guanggu City, the weeping of a loyal minister amidst the crisis in Jiankang, the walls built of white bones at Tongwan City, the mulberry and hemp fields of Longcheng… In a chaotic world where heroes vied for power, everyone sought their own "destiny." Liu Yu, burdened with the pain of losing his wife, the betrayal of his brothers, and the heavy responsibility of his country, repeatedly chose between the blade and human nature. The Diviner with a Sword's words, "A sharp blade and a righteous heart, worthy of the people," reveals not only one person's fate but also the very theme of an entire era. Here, there is the iron-fisted decisiveness of killing, the tenderness of love, the sorrow of fratricide, and the long eve of an emperor's abdication. It fully depicts the loneliness of heroes and the desolation of a chaotic world.
