Trouble in the Rivers and Lakes

Ranchen, the Lord of Cloud City, was paralyzed from the waist down and poisoned. He was saved by Gu Jianghe, Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.

To resolve her inner turmoil and find her long-lost family, Gu Jianghe ventured into the martial world for the first time in ten years.

Wen Jirou, a renowned yet mysterious Grand Tutor, brought a secret imperial edict.

Princess Changmeng Xiao joined forces with the martial world to rebel in secret, drawing all three into a turbulent world of martial intrigue.

Medicine King Valley was secluded, yet its name was known throughout the martial world.

The valley's immortal physician could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bare bones.

What the world didn't know was that she could find no cure for herself.

Cloud City stood at the boundary between north and south, a power to be reckoned with in the martial world.

The Lord of Cloud City bore the emperor's mandate and could sway the tides of the martial world.

Yet he had long been beset by enemies on all sides.

How could he break out of this predicament?

What other secrets did the man carrying the imperial edict conceal?

This scheme was destined to entrap all three of them.

"You know, you remind me of a medicinal herb."

"Which one?"

"Cyperus. Its rhizomes are silvery white and its appearance is cool and austere, yet it tastes pungent and is warm in nature. More importantly... cyperus can ease my pain."
