    Name: The Story of the Extraordinary Hero from Beyond the Great Wall/塞外奇侠传

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: It's a pretty famous wuxia novel.
    It sounds interested because the story is deeply rooted in the origins of the Qing Dynasty
    Description:
    The story is set in the early Qing dynasty during the reign of the Shunzhi Emperor (r. 1643–1661). The ethnic minority tribes in northwestern China are under attack by Qing forces, who are attempting to force them into submission. Yang Yuncong helps the tribal people resist the invaders and becomes a revered hero in the region. However, Yang is betrayed and attacked by his junior, Chu Zhaonan, who has defected to the Qing side. They encounter a sandstorm while fighting. Yang is injured and loses consciousness, but is saved by Nalan Minghui, the daughter of a Qing general, Nalan Xiuji. She nurses him back to health and helps him escape from danger.
