Ice Pride, Legend of Liu Hanbing

Synopsis of the story of "Aoxue Hanbing Jue: The Legend of Liu Hanbing" At the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in the Southern Tang Dynasty shrouded in mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a hidden sect - Hanbing Sect - with the ambition of "protecting the country and the people". The master of the sect, Zhou Ehuang (the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty), was both the Queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the successor of the "Ao Xue Hanbing Jue". His sister Zhou Wei (Liu Hanbing, the Little Empress of Zhou Dynasty) had practiced swordplay since she was a child and was famous for her soft and strong ice silk sword. The two sisters used the sect as the "Secret Guards of the Southern Tang Dynasty", dealing with the court and the arena to resist the infiltration of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin remembered his relationship with Emperor Zhou E in Shouzhou in his early years and showed some restraint in the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, his younger brother Zhao Guangyi planned to build the "Liaoyuan Pavilion" and used the ruthless "Scorching Sun Palm" as a technique to recruit desperadoes from all over the world. He assassinated the main fighting faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty and stole the Jiang defense map. He vowed to pave the way for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty. He also had a deep obsession with the intelligent and tenacious Liu Hanbing. As Chai Rong died of illness, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, and the Song army crossed the river, the fate of Jinling's city destruction gradually became a foregone conclusion. Liu Hanbing fulfilled her sister's last wish and led her Hanbingmen disciples to protect the people from evacuating. However, due to the safety of Li Yu (the later master of the Southern Tang Dynasty), he was forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty and was imprisoned in Bianliang together with Li Yu. She refused Zhao Guangyi's entanglement, secretly contacted the old Jiangnan department, and witnessed Li Yu's swan song "When Will the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon Come" until he was given poisoned wine. In the end, Liu Hanbing faked his death and escaped, returning to the deep mountains of Jiangnan with "The Art of Snow and Ice". With the new sect rule of "not involving the court, only protecting people's livelihood", he turned the sect into the "snow" that protects the people of Jiangnan. Although the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Liu Hanbing's sword shadow and Hanbingmen's character eventually became a unique legend that combined the rise and fall of history and the passion of martial arts in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties.
