[A Handful of Snow Amid the Mortal World]
The jianghu had lain desolate and silent for ten years.
At last, the summer of the first year of Qi'an arrived,
when the Tianlu Heart Sutra Preface was to be recast and its rankings reordered.
This time, the Tongxi Society was responsible for the Heart Sutra contest,
so clans from both alliances and schools from across the jianghu gathered in Yangzhou,
all hoping to have their names inscribed high on the Tianlu rankings,
and even more hoping to make their reputations soar throughout the jianghu.
Meanwhile, the taverns and teahouses on every street and alley in Linjiang City
were packed with all kinds of people, bustling with noise.
The storyteller, animated and eloquent,
was recounting the breathtaking bloodbath at Taoyuan Ferry
in the first year of Enyuan.
This is an imaginative side story to Heavy Snow Blankets Liangzhou.
This is your jianghu.
Theme: Follow your heart, and never regret your moves.
