The Chronicles of Thunderbolt's Blossoms

An original ensemble cast of female characters.

This is a world of martial arts filled with all kinds of women: a cold and proud sword-immortal junior sister, a female demon who has turned over a new leaf, a noblewoman who fled to escape an arranged marriage, a willful Confucian-born innate master, an exceptionally gifted young empress, a dutiful and long-suffering girl, a cool and aloof Daoist innate master, a lively divination prodigy, a gentle and kind ordinary woman, and a proud, stubborn female physician...

Some wield their swords to defend the Way, guarding the peace of their corner of the world amid flashing blades. Some use their wits to break through traps, seeking a way to survive in a whirlpool of political schemes. Others comprehend the Way through love, finding clarity amid life's rises and falls...

The sons and daughters of the martial world are caught in endless feuds. Should they follow fate or defy it and reshape the world? In the churning sea of mortal life, should devoted love end in regret, or can they share a carefree life together? Read on to see the choices they make and the legends they write.
