Three years in the military, with blood shed on the edge of a blade.
At the height of his career, Jiang Yan, an ace of the Wolf Fang Special Forces, abruptly took off his uniform, concealed his prowess, and slipped alone into Linjiang City, a bustling metropolis teeming with hidden currents beneath its glittering surface.
This riverside city dazzled with neon and seemed peaceful on the surface, yet beneath it lay a vast, intricate web of darkness that held everything in its grip.
Cross-border smuggling, underground criminal networks, monopolies of power, and covert struggles were layered together and deeply entrenched. The police had repeatedly failed to investigate, gather evidence, or infiltrate them.
To tear open the veil and break the deadlock, Jiang Yan disguised himself as an ordinary man and hid his blade among the people, moving quietly through the shadows.
He posed as a young migrant worker, proceeding cautiously and planning every step.
A chance intervention in the night market of the old quarter drew him into a struggle between grassroots factions. Then he entered the Linjiang Hall and found himself caught in a game played in both the open and the shadows.
Concealing his edge, enduring the upheaval, feigning mediocrity, and entering the darkness.
Lying low among ordinary people and hunting in the shadows, he used his lone, cold blade to cut through the city's heavy veil of darkness.
The world saw an ordinary man without a name. Only the darkness knew him:
He hid his blade within, broke the deadlock with it, and hunted alone through Linjiang's endless night.

Hello readers, I am Banfengjian. "The Hidden Blade by the River" is my debut novel. I wanted to write a story about a special forces soldier who, after shedding his military uniform and hiding in the city, infiltrates the undercurrents alone to cut through the massive web of evil. Writing a book as a new author is not easy, so I sincerely ask for your support, and please add it to your favorites and read it regularly. Every bit of encouragement you give is my motivation to keep writing!
