Two hundred years ago, on the battlefield of Lan River, the last legions of the Guangming Empire collapsed amidst the clamor of the demons, and the Empire's last marshal and emperor died in battle. On the chaotic continent of Xi Chuan, there was no common monarch, and heroes rose and fought among themselves. Military strength was the only means of survival, and dominating the world was the dream of generations of strong men. In the southeast of the continent, there was a powerful force that had existed for over two hundred years—the Zi Chuan family. They fought against the Liu Feng family to the west, resisted the demons to the east, and controlled the Lin family to the south. For the dream of strength, and for the continuation of the family's bloodline, countless outstanding members of the Zi Chuan family fought and sacrificed, composing an epic and magnificent history. This novel, Zi Chuan, tells the legendary tragic history of such a family.
