The imperial household has been merciless since ancient times. Yet within this imperial family are Xiao Limoli, the flute immortal who cares only for a beautiful woman of the martial world; Yuwen Yichu, with a heart like a zither and the soul of a sword, cold-blooded and ruthless, yet consumed by a love that lasts a lifetime; Emperor Jing'an Nangong Baji, devoted to one woman for his entire life; Emperor Wenyuan Nangong Wen, who silently endures for love; and the women of the Leng clan, a family of outstanding heroes, who generation after generation are hopelessly devoted. There are also two brilliant ministers, one a scholar and one a warrior, who roam the Nine Provinces and protect Xuanyue from harm; the Four Kings and Generals, who command awe across the Nine Provinces; and the Thirteen Lords, who look down on the world with swords in hand... And in this martial world, there are countless heroes who dare to stain the heavens with their blood: the scholarly Saint Shang Yu, Starfall, who protects his nation; the ritual wine master Du Gongbu, imbued with a scholar's spirit; the Sword Lord Nan Xuan Longjian, who wished to leave the mortal world but whose shadow remained among men; and the Ice Princess, whose love has endured ten lifetimes...
The men of the Nine Provinces, faithful to one partner for a lifetime.
The women of the Nine Provinces, gladly give their lives for the one they love.
