At the end of the Dajing Dynasty, more than 300 years after the founding of the country, the imperial power was corrupted, vassal towns were divided, eunuchs were in chaos, and aristocratic families controlled the government. The imperial court is plagued by serious abuses, foreign tribes on the border are eyeing it, and chaos is imminent. The symbiosis of checks and balances between the rivers and lakes and the court is not a paradise separated from the world, but the second chess game in troubled times.
The rivers and lakes are divided into three sects, six sects and nine families. A hundred years ago, there was a "catastrophe for the common people": the first generation of rivers and lakes sages created the "Sword Code of Crossing the World", using martial arts to calm troubled times and stabilize the world, and established rules: The rivers and lakes do not involve imperial power, but when the court is unruly and the people are displaced, knights should enter the world to calm the chaos.
After the catastrophe, the "World-Transcending Sword Code" was divided into two parts: the sword soul mind method and the sword bone moves were inherited by two direct lineages respectively. However, due to the conspiracy of the court and the sect's betrayal a hundred years ago, the two lines were broken. Generations of feuds, the sword code is incomplete, and there is no real world-transmitting swordsman in the world. Injustice cases a hundred years ago were deliberately buried by powerful officials and traitors in the world. Now the troubled times have restarted. The incomplete sword code has triggered massacres in the world and plots in the court, and the people of the world have become pawns in a chess game. As the only descendants of the two bloodlines, the male and female protagonists are burdened with feuds and fate, and are forced to confront each other. In the end, they break the fate, put aside their personal grudges, combine the sword canon, and use the power of the world to redeem the troubled times.
