How Arrogant in the Prime of Life [Wuxia Crossover]

[Male Lead] [Prime-of-Life Top] Scatter a fortune, wield a tongue like a sword against the heavens. Though the jade carriage falters, one purchase can win a dynasty. A zither splits the sky; a blade carves snow-white bones. With an eagle's shadow sweeping past, ten years await his return, all spent as the Yellow River dwindles. A green-robed tiger follows; stars sway in a pipe's smoke. He calculated all the world's turmoil, yet missed the boat home. He never saw the world fall silent for the man in blue. Most startling of all, a youth stole the realm and donned the imperial robes. Dynasties rise and fall amid the fury of the times. Let love become a blade, hatred become wine, and the prime of life burn. [Please Read Before You Start] 1. Sheng Nian is both righteous and wicked, a native of the wuxia world.
