Sword Rising in Weiyang

A blood-stained secret edict and a cold tiger tally thrust Lu Chenyuan, a young and powerful minister, into an inescapable deadly trap. In the southern three provinces, one hundred thousand refugees have gathered in unrest, while within the Weiyang Palace, rival princes sharpen their blades for the struggle over succession. With a tragic smile and tears, the Emperor entrusts Lu Chenyuan with the burden of the realm and imperial authority, handing him the ring-pommel sword that symbolizes lethal force. Everyone believes Lu Chenyuan is merely the sharpest blade in this game of throne succession, destined to be shattered amidst the snows of his southern campaign. But he defies their expectations. Facing an ambush by twelve top-tier assassins, his sword strikes like a dragon, splattering blood on the green stones. Confronted by the siege of one hundred thousand refugees, he rides alone into their ranks and kneels with his sword laid down. Against the relentless pressure of the court princes, he overturns the chessboard itself, backing his move with one hundred thousand armored troops and using the blood-written petitions of the people as his weapon. "They seek my life, but I seek the world," he declares. Witness how a lone minister breaks through the deadlock with wisdom and proves his path with hot blood, igniting the first undying light for humanity in a treacherous and chaotic era.
