A Jest at the Sword's Frosted Edge

Lin Yan is quick-witted and always smiling, but shows no mercy with his sword.

A forged fragment of an ancient manuscript brings him together with Su Qinghan, a qin player in white, and Chu Yan, an assassin in red. The three join forces to cross Black Mountain and break through the Black Iron Gate, only to uncover a vast conspiracy that the Shadow Pavilion has been hiding for years.

Laughter is his mask, a frosty blade lies hidden in his heart. A storm sweeping across the entire martial world begins to unfold.
