Nie Xiaofeng's sword hides thunder while still sheathed. The day it is drawn, it reaches its peak. From the moment he appears, he bears the sharp aura of a king, unmatched by anyone.
He holds fast to the noble ideal of "being a great hero who serves his country and its people." This conviction weighs heavier than mountains and rivers, forcing him to part for a time from his newlywed wife, Ximen Qianxue. He buries his affection for her deep in the scabbard and turns to face the storms of the martial world. From then on, he writes with his sword and lives by his principles. He champions good without shrinking from a fight and eradicates evil without mercy, charging down the path of chivalry. Wherever he goes, wickedness retreats and righteousness shines bright.
Yet even a hero's heart can be tender. Though his courage soars as high as the clouds, he cannot escape the ties of worldly affection. The beautiful women he meets along the way and the confidantes who understand him all leave their mark on his heart. Torn between his unwavering devotion to chivalry and the tangled bonds of love, he stands at the heart of the martial world with sword in hand. In the end, the concerns of his beloved and his confidantes leave him unable to hide his hesitation and melancholy.
