Eighteen years have bled into the past since the massacre at Jiangliu’s edge, a brutal night that claimed the life of Zhao Ji and left a secret heir behind. Now, under the iron rule of Emperor Li Yua, peace reigns. In the bustling streets, a lone figure moves through the crowd—black straw hat, layered dark clothes, a katana at his hip.

He walks alone, unnoticed, yet carrying the weight of a forgotten history.
