The destined hero, warrior of the Five Heavens, savior of the peoples, Zhong… Jian has been immersed in luxury and splendor since birth, surrounded by martial arts masters, yet at fifteen he has never taken part in a real battle. Everything changes when Taishi arrives at the palace—a strict mentor sent to test the young man’s readiness to lead the army of the Enlightened (he won’t be able to fend off even a group of old knitting ladies!). Suddenly, it turns out that the prophecy has been misinterpreted, and Jian must find a way to become what he believes he can no longer be—a hero, after all.
