A boy hired as a bodyguard by the family that murdered his own — the most cold-blooded revenge plot ever written in Chinese wuxia.

Gongsun Shu joins the household of his family's killers under a false name, learning their sword arts while sharpening his own grudge. Every ally is suspect, every kindness a blade in disguise; the ending re-contextualizes the whole road.
