The Crane Returns to the Cold Peaks

On the cold cliffs of Nanshan, a pair of cranes make their home, untouched by the clamor of the world for seventeen years. A sect from beyond the borders arrives, driven by vengeance, and war once again engulfs the southern land.

A lonely child is afflicted with a strange poison that feeds on love. The deeper his feelings, the more his heart burns with pain. A lovely woman from the ravine can identify spirit herbs with ease. Her heart is as clear as crystal, and she is willing to face every trial at his side.

Proud spirits stand firm in the border city, turmoil stirs in the secluded valley, and the pain of longing is relived before the Cliff of Parting. Former lovers return to the mortal world, wielding peerless arts to repel powerful foes and relying on love and loyalty to save the people.

A battle atop Yanduo Peak will decide the fate of the martial world, but the dynasty's fortunes can no longer be turned around. When the fighting finally falls silent, old friends will each return to their place. The green mountains remain, and the moonlight and breeze endure.
