Ten years to forge a single sword, its frosty edge still untested. Today I draw it and show it to you: who has a grievance to settle? It was an age of golden spears and iron horses in dreams, a time when heroes rose in abundance, and many valiant souls stood ready to defend their homeland and guard its frontiers. These heroes, alive in vivid scenes from history, galloped across battlefields beneath flags whipped by fierce winds. Their iron hooves crossed vast grasslands, desolate deserts, ancient plateaus, boundless seas, and even the endless river of time and space. Amid the sorrowful cries of beauties, the dirges of heroes, the triumph of demons, the destruction of nations, and the downfall of peoples, they wrote myths of blood and tears, and epic tales of spears and shields. This book records history and uncovers countless shining moments from a thousand years ago. It brings together the golden works of the ancients, drawing on the best of immortal masterpieces such as The Legend of Zhu Xian, The Heroic Aspirations, and The Lord of the Rings. It is the culmination and distillation of the author's ten years of dedication. You simply must read it!
