Dream of the Red Chamber: Ambitions in the Clouds

The Great Qian dynasty has stood for centuries, its lands vast and expansive. Four armies guard its borders: the Wolf Cavalry in the north, the Ape Warriors in the south, the Heavy Armor Corps in the west, and the Blade Corps in the east. Their four generals are all renowned figures, feared wherever their names are heard. Within the realm, the Great General Situ, the finest martial artist in the land, commands the imperial guards. Great Qian can plant its banners on any land across the continent.

One spring day, a young man rode toward the capital on a great black horse, followed by eight riders. Clouds of dust billowed behind them.
