The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is full of mist and rain. Lu Qing was originally a young man from another world who traveled through time and was born on a remote riverside in the Wuyue Kingdom. His father was a young border general and his mother was an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family. His life experience was secretive and rough. He was raised by the villagers in the south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, and his extraordinary physique was tempered by water, nets, fishing and fire: he was able to carry a cauldron, was as agile as a thundering giant, had great endurance, and recovered quickly. He was born different from ordinary people, but he had no cunning tricks. He needed to rely on intelligence and scheming in everything. As a young man, he first tried his best in the small town arena, defused the battles between powerful men, and avoided the threats of bandits. He also interacted with the literati through his poems and songs, and his reputation gradually spread. The palace was suddenly in turmoil, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was eyeing the border, and there was an undercurrent of powerful separatism. Lu Qing relied on his physical fitness to protect himself, but he had to use wisdom and strategies to deal with the complicated maneuvers. He worked step by step. Amidst the surging undercurrents, he used the Jiangnan terrain, water network bridges and civil power layout to crisscross the palace and the rivers and lakes. In the turbulent times, battles and border wars continued to intersect. He used his calmness and courage, extraordinary physical fitness and culturally immersed insight to stabilize Wuyue. Poetry and wine in the south of the Yangtze River, fishermen's songs on bridges and rivers, are all the stages for his machinations and legends. He eventually became the iron-blooded strategist of Jiangnan. His reputation and poetry complemented each other, turning him into a legend that has been passed down for generations in the misty Jiangnan.
