After years of endurance and cunning, Goujian leads his army to conquer the state of Wu. With most of the strategies successfully executed, who could have predicted that the greatest challenge would come from the weapons themselves? As the fate of a nation rests in the hands of a humble shepherd girl, watch as the common people rise to save their country from disaster. Jin Yong retells an ancient legend, proving that even the smallest figures can bear the weight of great responsibilities.
