Soaring Across the World

More than a decade ago, Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Zhu Qizhen, led an army of three hundred thousand to face the Oirat. The Ming army was devastated at Tumu Fortress, and the “Battle of Tumu Fortress” became a grievous scar in the empire's history.

Years later, the shadow of war draws near once more. Feng Li and Su Mingyu meet in the capital for the military examinations, and rise to fame through the “Blood Tournament Under Heaven,” held once every three years. One is the descendant of a famous general; the other is determined to conquer the world. Thus begins a sweeping tale of heroes, beauty, and loyalty to country and home.
