Blood River is the realm's most feared assassin guild, jointly run by the Su, Mu, and Xie clans. They can strike royals in court and crush great sects in the wild. When the patriarch is poisoned on a mission, the three clans vie for the top seat. Su Muyu leads the Spider-Shadow unit and shields the dying leader on the road to a cure. He clashes with elder Su Zhe and old friend Su Changhe, and meets master healer Bai Hehuai. After brutal power struggles, Su Changhe becomes new patriarch and Su Muyu heads the Su clan. They launch the "Other Shore Plan" to drag Blood River out of the shadow and forge a new destiny, free from being anyone's blade.

I love the way the story is told. Watching it feels like playing an open-world RPG — you can always discover new characters in new places, each with their own fascinating stories. Yes, every character has their own touching highlights!
The martial arts, enhanced by stunning visual artistry, are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I truly admire how the production team designed those breathtaking moves and kept levelling up the effects with such gorgeous visuals.
The main character also did an incredible job bringing those classic scenes into life — I just can’t stop rewinding and rewatching those clips over and over and over again.
My respect to the whole team!
The drama also has its own pace balancing intense confrontations with moments of humour.
I’ve rewatched every episode soooooooo many times while waiting for the finale. I’m really looking forward to more masterpieces from this talented team. I hope they can get better resources in the future — they truly deserve the world!
