Every year, the Sun and Moon Sect claims the two most talented children from each village. For Yan Xin, it's an opportunity he can't give up. Blessed with extraordinary talent, he refuses to live out his life as an ordinary farmer. Instead, he longs to become a great hero. Accompanied by a strange girl whose origins he can't even begin to imagine, Xin sets off to create his legend.

But his path won't be easy. Although the realm appears calm on the surface, a storm brews on the horizon. Ancient conspiracies threaten to become unearthed, villains lurk in the shadows, beasts of calamity awake from their slumber. Can Xin make a name for himself in this era of strife, or will he fall from his path like the countless others before him?
