Chen: 1169 books

In the days of the Song Dynasty, government corruption is rampant, and the enemies of a ruthless schemer named Qui Gao are driven out of power and into the untamed countryside of China. There they encounter 108 mischievous spirits who have taken root in the form of bandits and thieves who are about to make life very difficult for Qui Gao.

In an age of lawlessness and corruption, there is no one who can escape the treachery of Qui Gao. Through trickery and intimidation, he betrays friend and enemy alike. But when Qui Gao sends an ally, Chong Lin, into exile so that he can claim the man’s wife, he sends Chong Lin to an area rife with bandits—perhaps the only men left with a sense of honor.

In the lawless outskirts of rural China, where governing is all but nonexistent, there is no shortage of men thirsty to get rich quick by taking from others, whether by fighting for title or stealing a fortune. Of course, not all thefts are created equal: if you steal from a thief, is it still stealing?

My Thoughtful Words, Happy Poems, always put a smile on the reader's face. The words express a variety of subjects, such as nature, life's path,  and the noise in the silence. Enjoy the reading.
