Conquering the Nine Provinces

In Bianliang, Tokyo, his parents were brutally killed beneath Xuande Tower. The young Guo Yibei headed north and embarked on a path of revenge.

The Jingkang calamity brought earth-shattering upheaval and countless crimes. Corpses littered the land for thousands of miles, and the young man defected from the Jin camp.

Adrift in a turbulent age, he was reborn from despair. With sword in hand, he stood up to set the world right, both in the martial world and at court.

A kindred spirit is hard to find. He brought the Nine Provinces under his command and rose to greatness as a general, then turned gray overnight in a drunken dream, true to both the people and his beloved.

He ranged across the Western Regions, raced thousands of miles to return to his homeland, and cleared the names of the wronged. Behold the hero's sword!

History, martial arts, and political intrigue. No transmigration, no fictional world: a tale of the three kingdoms of Song, Jin, and Liao.
