Features: The Floating Record – A Chronicle of a Human Dynasty's Wars: In the vast desert grasslands of the northern land of Jiu Zhou, there exists a nomadic people who value martial prowess, worship the Pan Da Tian Shen (Heavenly God of Pan Da), and revere heroes. The men are all hot-blooded warriors, and the women are all valiant and fearless. Their dynasty is called Qingyang. The story takes place in Qingyang, telling of the power struggles within the northern land's nomadic tribes, as well as the enmity between Qingyang and the Eastern Continent Dynasty. The heir apparent of Qingyang, Lü Guichen, was sent to live with the Yan Zhen tribe in his childhood. Later, when the Yan Zhen tribe rebelled, Lü Guichen was brought back to the northern capital. However, his older brothers did not take this young and frail heir seriously, merely competing with each other for the right to inherit the throne. Yet, after being tempered by war and the hardships of life, Lü Guichen transformed from his once gentle and weak nature, gradually maturing and strengthening himself in his brothers' power struggle. At the time, the Da Yin royal family of the Eastern Continent was declining, with several feudal states rising up. The Great Lord of Qingyang sought to achieve his ambition of dominating the Eastern Continent by allying with the Xia Tang Kingdom. As a result, Lü Guichen was sent as a hostage to Xia Tang. There, he met the arrogant and spirited Tian Du warrior, Ji Ye. He was drawn to Ji Ye's bold and never-surrendering resilience, and the two formed a deep friendship. This is the story of the young Zhaowu Duke and the young Yu Lie King of the future Da Xie Dynasty.
