After growing weary of a blood life, Zhou Zishu, leader of the Heaven’s Pane intelligence agency that answers directly to the Emperor, hammered the Septeye Nails of Three Autumns into himself. With only three years of a ruine life left in him, he left the Court, then went down to jianghu to tour famous mountains and lakes. His former life of leisure and contentment, however, was swept up into a confusing jianghu war out of a momentary idea to accumulate virtue — he’s also being chased after and harassed by the beauty-loving Wen Kexing.
