During the Southern Song dynasty, the court clung to a corner of the realm. The court faction advocating war joined forces with Murong Nanyan, a mysterious figure from the martial world who wielded great influence, to call for an expedition, only to be framed and attacked. Wu Xi, son of Wu Ting, commander of the Wu family army that had guarded Sichuan for generations, was kept in the capital as a hostage because the court distrusted the Wu family. At Princess Qi'an's birthday banquet, people from every faction gathered. Murong Ruoying, daughter of Murong Nanyan and a martial artist since childhood, also met Wu Xi for the first time. Thus began a stirring love story between the two, set against family vendettas, national enmity, court intrigues, and conflicts in the martial world.
Theme: Choosing between family and national vendettas and a love that cuts to the bone.
A martial arts novel with the flavor of Red Mansion. The plot progresses quickly and doesn't drag on. I really look forward to the emotional drama unfolding.
