Jianghu is where the rivers flow free and seekers of their own destinies roam. A minor celebrity of Jianghu, Swordsman Yan finds himself down on his luck two years after his name-making feat at the Trial of Swords. Turns out fame doesn't always lead to fortune. So when he discovers that the petty scoundrel he's been commissioned to find has a string of bounties on his head and a long line of powerful people waiting to collect on their debts of vengeance, Yan is determined to be the one to bring the man to justice.

Of course, his target isn't going to give up so easily.
