    Reader note

    This is a story about a "crippled man." Martial arts novels often feature geniuses—gifted, blessed with extraordinary encounters, and masters of divine skills. But Chu Han is different. His right hand was shattered by a palm strike from an enemy, his meridians broken, rendering him unable to wield a sword for life. He is the young master of the Sword-Forging Manor, yet he can't even lift a sword. But this seemingly useless man chopped ten thousand pieces of firewood with his left hand, forging his first sword. With this sword, he stormed the Blood Prison, slew criminals, broke rules, and even killed a god-king. Finally, he stood before the Xuanwu Gate of the capital, alone, with only his sword, facing three thousand imperial guards. He said, "I will not retreat." The core of martial arts novels is never "becoming stronger," but "defying fate." Chu Han refused to accept defeat. He refused to accept his crippled right hand, refused to accept his fate of being subjugated, refused to accept the dog-eat-dog world of martial arts, refused to accept the rules hanging over the heads of every ordinary person. If fate deals you the worst hand—don't play it, just overturn the table. "To whom does this sword strike truly honor?" This is Chu Han's motto, and also the question that "Blood List" leaves for every reader. With blood as ink and a sword as pen, it's a blood-pumping martial arts tale about revenge and redemption.
