COLLECTION JY · REALM & DUTY

The Jin Yong Room

Here, the martial world is never separate from the imperial court. Private loyalties, the laws of the sects, and the storms of history collide until one question remains: what is a person willing to fight for?

Six novels are shelved along three paths: growth, choice, and duty to the realm.

JY-001 · MOUNTAINS & RIVERS

The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Guo Jing leaves the grasslands for the Central Plains. Guided by Huang Rong and a vivid company of teachers and friends, he learns not only martial arts but how to weigh loyalty, vengeance, and the greater good. His coming of age ultimately becomes a defence of the realm.

Read the keeper's note

This is the ideal doorway into Jin Yong's world: its lineages are clear, its characters unforgettable, and the weight of the “great hero” emerges through one difficult choice after another.

JY-002 · THE TRIAL OF LOVE

The Return of the Condor Heroes

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu hold fast to one another through prejudice, separation, and war. Across many years, their defiant love and personal growth become inseparable from the duty waiting beyond the walls of Xiangyang.

Read the keeper's note

The novel keeps asking what to do when the rules of the martial world oppose genuine feeling: obey the chorus, or accept the full cost of choosing for oneself?

JY-003 · POWER

The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

In the last years of the Yuan dynasty, Zhang Wuji is drawn into conflict among the major sects, the Ming Cult, and the two legendary weapons. His gentleness wins loyalty, yet makes every decision more painful.

Read the keeper's note

The real question is not who possesses the weapons, but how a man who hates hurting others endures power when every faction demands his allegiance.

JY-004 · ALL LIVING BEINGS

Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils

The lives of Qiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xuzhu cross and diverge. Identity, ethnicity, love, and consequence strip each hero of the answers he once trusted, until the vast martial world reflects the predicament of every human life.

Read the keeper's note

All three journeys arrive at the same truth: prowess can change one's circumstances, but it cannot answer “Who am I?” or “How should I live?”

JY-005 · FREEDOM

The Smiling, Proud Wanderer

Linghu Chong detests schemes for power yet cannot escape the rivalries of the sects. As the labels of orthodox and unorthodox keep changing hands, imperial ambition and a duet for qin and xiao reveal the price of freedom.

Read the keeper's note

This is a novel about institutions, power, and personal boundaries. The louder someone invokes orthodoxy, the more closely we should watch what he hopes to gain from it.

JY-006 · WORLDLY WISDOM

The Deer and the Cauldron

Wei Xiaobao knows no profound martial art. He survives by wit, moving between palace and jianghu, the Kangxi Emperor and the Heaven and Earth Society, while juggling a life with seven wives. A streetwise rogue turns the heroic tradition inside out.

Read the keeper's note

The final volume deliberately dismantles the conventional great hero: cleverness, loyalty, and virtue no longer belong neatly to one person, and the world feels all the more human for it.
