Magic Peaks and Swords

Intro: Qiu Chuji’s account of Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying – how did he learn of it? Is it the entire truth? What is the relationship between the “Jintong Swordplay” and Lin Chaoying? Why did it make her breathless? “Unchanging Peaks” refers to an organization that, with the aid of Jin’s power, plots to “destroy the Song dynasty and restore the Southern Tang.” The “Dark Swordsmen” they train employ brutal and extreme methods, which Song patriots disdain, calling them accomplices. Lin Chaoying, as a swordswoman, was ordered to take the head of Wang Shixiong, the “Number One Defender of Chuzhou,” but during the process, she developed feelings for him. The Song people’s stronghold in Chuzhou was annihilated by the Jin army, and Wang Shixiong disappeared amidst grief. Lin Chaoying, willing to be branded a traitor, was determined to find him. Over eight years, she overcame numerous obstacles and finally found him, who had changed his name to “Wang Chongyang.” A scripture detailing the secret to enduring blows without injury, a conspiracy involving the interests of various factions of the “Moluan,” and a battle against the invading Jin army… Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang wielded their swords together, employing the “Jintong Danzhi Swordplay” to turn the tide.

Come, experience anew, from the heart, the people and events of “Reversed Destiny” within this familiar tale…
