Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.The six prefectures of Zhongbo were offered to foreign enemies on a silver platter, and Shen Zechuan was taken into custody in the capital, reduced to a drowning dog* loathed and condemned by all. Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood? That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another.
“Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.”
Note : a ‘drowning dog’ is someone who is down and out, having lost favor or power.

QuDu (capital city of Da Zhou) : dazhou, to me, is an alliance of separate nations. The states are independent with separate militaries and it’s own King (Lan Zhou’s dad being the former king of Zhongbo, and Xiao Chi Ye’s dad being the king of Li Bei). Each state answers to the emperor in Qu Du. Zhongbo (not dazhou) has 6 prefectures. After the death of Zhongbo’s army, the state was thrown into chaos with bandits pretty much becoming the ruling party in some prefectures. One of Lan Zhou’s primary goals in the first part is returning to Zhongbo. Story: honestly I couldn’t really read the novel at first, so I got into the audio drama and then read the novel to contextualize everything. But the novel is definitely better. It’s one of those novels where every detail is explained later on, so things that don’t seem to matter actually do, but you don’t really have to remember much to understand what’s going on. The first 120 chapters it’s 50% plot 50% relationship. Transitions between major arcs are smooth, doesn’t feel like separate stories with the same characters.
Lan Zhou’s dad is guilty of treason and causes the death of 40, 000 soldiers in Zhongbo, and commits su*cide. Xiao Chi Ye’s brother (Xiao Jiming) defeats the enemy and becomes allies with QuDu and is forced to send a hostage into Qu Du in exchange, the hostage ends up being Xiao Chi Ye. Since Lan Zhou’s family are all dead, he’s left to carry the burden of an unfounded charge and everyone blames him for the death of 40, 000 people. Shen Ze Chuan (Shen lan Zhou) : A tragic character through and through, but he’s not written to be pitied. Throughout the first 100 chapters we see his hardened shell with a few pieces of inner thought sprinkled throughout. I like to compare him to Fang Yuan from Reverend insanity in the sense that he could trample over anyone to achieve his goals; the major difference being that he has people he loves and wishes to protect, and only for those people can his risk ambition. A very human character and hands down the best written. Emotionally appealing in the sense that he’s hella badass (literally skins someone alive and laughs it off). Cool headed, indifferent, can actually fight for himself, and smart.
