The Sword

1980 · 1 season

A slow-burning wuxia costume drama with a somber, righteous tone and bursts of swordplay.

Overview
In Ming Dynasty, each year the fiefs offered tribute to the corrupt official Yan Song. An official in charge of a poor fief, Sima Shuangcheng, sent someone to rob other fiefs. The robbers killed all the villagers to keep their actions hidden. Ye Lanling, a former official, decided to return to society after learning the truth and fought against Sima.
