(Not a lighthearted 'face-slapping' novel)
When the war ended, the good bow was hidden away. The Duke Boyang's residence was accused of treason, raided, and annihilated. All the male members were executed, leaving only the crippled Fourth Master Huo and the frail female family members to embark on a journey of exile.
Years of continuous famine meant starving corpses lay scattered across the wilderness. With the entire family being old, weak, young, and disabled, they were on the verge of dying in the desolate wilds.
