   Chapter 1 Wang Xifeng Borrows Money, a Lowly Imperial Guard at the Rongguo Mansion. Autumn arrived, the air grew cool, and a torrential downpour began. Rain pounded against the eaves of the pavilion, flowing down into the gutters. Jia Huan stood with an umbrella, his heart as heavy as the sky. He had unexpectedly transmigrated into the body of Jia Huan, the universally disliked illegitimate son of the Red Chamber, constantly oppressed by Lady Wang, ridiculed by the women, and even disliked by his own sister, Tan Chun. "I'm going to make something of myself!" Jia Huan was determined; he didn't want to live a mediocre life, dependent on others. "Brother Huan, have you gotten into trouble again?" A sharp voice rang out before the person even arrived. Jia Huan closed his umbrella and went to greet her. Passing through three courtyards, he saw a beautiful young woman in a bright red silk skirt, adorned with jewels, her elegant figure glancing at him with her phoenix eyes. She was voluptuous, with delicate features, snow-white skin, and breathtaking beauty—none other than Wang Xifeng, one of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. "Greetings, sister-in-law." Jia Huan bowed respectfully.

    I am Xiao Lin, my black armor stained with blood, my spear piercing the chaos of the Yong Dynasty. From the frigid northern border to the imperial throne, every step has been a gamble on the edge of a knife. Amidst the undercurrents of the court, I dismantle Empress Dowager Liu's arranged marriage scheme; on the battlefield, I conquer cities with overwhelming force and ruthlessly ensnare surrendered soldiers. The world calls me cold and ruthless, yet they know that the gentle, Jiangnan accent of the Jade Sound Pavilion once burned my heart. In this world, some claim legitimacy by bloodline, I shatter their lies with a blood test; some laugh at my lonely minister without an heir, yet it is this label of "bastard" that compels me to grasp the imperial seal. If destiny is on my side, what fear is there of a road paved with bones? The nine heavens will forever bear the name Xiao Lin.

    In Jin Yong's novels, the phrase "The Fall of Xiangyang" took away the legend of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, leaving a heartbreaking void of nearly a century between the three parts of the Condor Trilogy. During this century, a timeless friendship transcending personal love emerged! Their story goes beyond budding romance; it also involves the weight of national duty and the rise and fall of the martial arts world. Guo Xiang's unwavering commitment and Zhang Junbao's steadfastness intertwined amidst the chaos of war. They were confidants, comrades-in-arms, and guiding lights illuminating each other's paths. *The Legend of Guo Xiang: The Prequel to The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber* (also known as *The Legend of Guo Xiang: The Sequel to The Condor Trilogy*) depicts the highest realm of brotherhood, a magnificent chapter in the martial arts world composed of Buddhist compassion and Taoist integrity! This "dark age," which Jin Yong only briefly touched upon, shines with breathtaking brilliance in this book.
