The Chronicles of the Late Ming Heroes

In a turbulent era that burns like a furnace, consuming the blood and tears of the common folk, fourteen-year-old refugee Lin Ansheng, of ordinary talent, learns the way of protection by risking his life for others amidst the ruins. Meanwhile, Shen Yanqiu, once the brilliant 'Jade Lang' of the凌霄, falls into the demonic path after his entire family is unjustly killed, vowing to burn down the old world with blood and fire. One guards the people, the other seeks to overthrow the realm. As the iron cavalry from beyond the passes tramples the land and the righteous sects scatter in flight, these two broken souls are destined for a final showdown amidst the ruins—where victory or defeat is merely a delayed justice. This is the ultimate confrontation between two youths, and a lament of how chivalry is reborn from death in a chaotic age. — Description from novelcodex.org
