Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Adapted from Wen Ruian's wuxia novel series, part of a shared universe with 'The Four' and 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' — yes, they're all connected somehow.
The 'jianghu' (martial arts world) depicted here romanticizes a specific Song dynasty literary tradition where wandering swordsmen solve problems bureaucracy can't touch — essentially ancient Chinese superhero fiction.
