Eighteen years have passed in the blink of an eye. Though our days were simple and frugal, Lotus warmed my heart. My daughter grew into a beautiful and talented young woman, stunning all who beheld her. Lotus and I fell in love and pledged our lives to each other. One day, I encountered a cultivator who declared my extraordinary talent and offered to take me as his disciple to impart his teachings. He said that if I attained enlightenment, the world would be astonished. I had no desire for immortality, only to grow old with Lotus. However, poverty and my parents' illness forced me to become their disciple to repay their kindness. They took elixirs and miraculous medicines, and my parents recovered completely. I followed my master to seek immortality. At our parting, we wept bitterly, vowing never to forget each other, and to return together in eternal life.

The protagonist is neither a saint nor a villain. 4. Supporting characters are not all the same; they all have their own pursuits. 5.

The entire story is set within a single country and state, encompassing dozens of counties, numerous sects, masters, villains, and countless young talents.

    Based on the Ming Dynasty of 1566, this is a martial arts and political intrigue novel… The imperial court and the martial world are inseparable (obsession with immortality, power). The male protagonist's father is the most powerful person in the land (no arrogance, as safe as it gets…). An ensemble piece where everyone is the protagonist of their own world (brotherhood, patriotism). The entire main cast is intelligent, not overly sentimental, and decisive in their actions…~

    During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song, Liao, Western Xia, and Dali kingdoms were locked in a power struggle, rife with martial arts feuds and ethnic conflicts. Duan Yu, son of the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, sought refuge from martial arts training in the Wuliang Mountains, where, through various opportunities, he learned strange and wondrous martial arts techniques. He was later captured by the Tibetan Grand Preceptor Kumārajīva and taken to Jiangnan, where he became sworn brothers with Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, the largest martial arts clan. During an internal power struggle within the Beggars' Sect, Qiao Feng was accused of being a Khitan, his reputation plummeting overnight, and he was scorned by the martial arts world of the Central Plains. To unravel the mystery of his origins, Qiao Feng searched far and wide for clues to his identity, but was repeatedly framed and wronged, even mistakenly killing his beloved A'Zhu. Later, to save A'Zhu's sister A'Zi, he sought medical help in the Liao Kingdom, eventually becoming the Southern King of Liao. Meanwhile, the young Shaolin monk Xu Zhu, by chance, solved the Zhenlong Chess Puzzle, learned superior martial arts from the Xiaoyao Sect, and later became sworn brothers with Duan Yu and Qiao Feng. At this time, the Liao Kingdom invaded the Song Dynasty. Qiao Feng, with a heart full of righteousness, could not bear to see the two countries at war and the people suffering. He coerced the Liao Emperor to promise not to send troops to the Song Dynasty for the rest of his life...
