The shuo wind rolls in the snow and covers the blue sky, and the beacon smoke suddenly rises due to the secret treasure "Mountain and River Mirror" in the troubled times. Taifu Wei Yuan is ambitious and wants to use the treasure to stir up the world and usurp the imperial power. The secret guards of the court and the forces of the world compete to join the game, and the situation is turbulent.
Xie Wuwang, a former Zhongliang, traveled the world alone in the name of "Wangjian". In order to investigate the massacre of his family, he chased him to the border and met Xiao Jingheng, the commander of the Shadow Guards under the pseudonym "Jiang Heng". The two had conflicting stances and drew swords against each other, but after a fierce battle they cherished each other. In order to prevent Shanhe Jian from falling into the hands of traitors, they were forced to team up with Shen Qingzhu, the young leader of the Beggar Clan, and Su Qingyan, the successor of Ghost Doctor Valley, to repeatedly break through the traps of Qingyi Tower.
From the cold pass on the border to the deep palace of Beijing, Xie Wuwang and Xiao Jingheng were both enemies and friends, fighting and joining forces. Hongmen Banquet defended the enemy back to back, and Yanmen Pass fought against the rebels together. They saw the flames of war and were displaced, and after experiencing the test of life and death, they gradually moved from "strangers and confidants" to "depending on each other in life and death." Xie Wuwang put aside his obsession with taking care of himself and took up the responsibility of protecting the people; Xiao Jingheng broke away from the shackles of the court and stood side by side with the forces of the world.
Wei Yuan rebelled, barbarians invaded, and the world fell. Xie Wuwang fell off a cliff and was reborn to learn the new way of swordsmanship. Xiao Jingheng endured grief and stabilized the coalition forces. After the two reunited, they combined their swords to finally kill Wei Yuan and drive back the barbarians. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he established the "Qingping Office", which was jointly controlled by the two men to check and balance the powerful and protect the common people.
The snow falls on the Qingming Pass, and the sword and the jade stand side by side on the tower, looking at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. They use themselves to reshape the core of chivalry, protect the peace of the people, and become the most dazzling light in troubled times.
Philosophy: In troubled times, chivalry is never a black or white choice. Taking Xie Wuwang's "breaking" and Xiao Jingheng's "keeping" as a guide, it explores how individuals, caught between the rivers and lakes and the court, use their own bodies to protect the people and reshape the true core of chivalry - not to become famous, but to take on the responsibility of knowing what cannot be done.
