Synopsis
Set in 19th-century Qing China, the novel follows Yang Yan, son of Yun Ziluo and Yang Mu. Raised by his godfather Miao Changfeng and first trained by Tang Jingtian of the Mount Heaven Sect, Yang Yan is separated from his teachers in the chaos of war and rescued by the hermit Long Zeling, who teaches him martial arts. After years of seclusion he enters the martial world, where his encounters start a chain of conflicts. He meets his cousin Qi Shijie and the swordswoman Leng Bing'er, forming a complicated bond, and, misled about the rebel leader Meng Yuanchao, acts rashly and falls out with his sect.
