Merchant of the Blood Moon
In a world where martial strength reigns supreme, Heu Ma walks a different path—one paved with wealth, manipulation, and blood. Once a naive scholar, he was betrayed and left to die, only to awaken with the enigmatic Merchant System, granting him the ability to trade, scheme, and rise beyond the limits of mere warriors.
Now, hidden behind the guise of a humble merchant, Heu Ma orchestrates the downfall of sects, brokers power among ruthless martial clans, and plays even the strongest like pieces on a board. Beneath the glow of the Blood Moon, he builds his empire—not with a sword, but with contracts written in fate and deals sealed with blood.
Yet, in his ascent, five figures stand at the crossroads of his destiny—the Five Jade Beauties, each embodying a different ideal: the perfect gentleman of wisdom and the four unmatched women, paragons of grace, ambition, and deadly allure. Some will challenge him, some will follow, and others… he will break.
As the world watches, torn between fear and admiration, Heu Ma prepares for his final gambit. Will he remain the unseen puppeteer, or will he become the emperor of the martial world itself?
When gold and blood weigh the same, only the true merchant will decide their worth.
