Story
China: 1200 AD. Guo Jing has confronted Apothecary Huang, his sweetheart Lotus' father, on Peach Blossom Island, and bested the villainous Gallant Ouyang in three trials to win her hand in marriage. But now, along with his sworn brother, Zhou Botong of the Quanzhen Sect, and his shifu, Count Seven Hong, chief of the Beggar Clan, he has walked into a trap. Tricked by Huang into boarding an unseaworthy barge, they will surely drown unless Lotus - who has overheard her father's plans - can find a way to save them.

Story
Minamoto Yoshitsune should not have been a samurai. But his story is legend in this real-life saga. This epic warrior tale may sound like a novel, but this is the true story of the greatest samurai in Japanese history. When Yoshitsune was just a baby, his father went to war with a rival samurai family - and lost. His father was killed, his mother captured, and his surviving half-brother banished. Yoshitsune was sent away to live in a monastery. Skinny, small, and unskilled in the warrior arts, he nevertheless escaped and learned the ways of the samurai.

Though 12-year-old Li Jing's name is a different character entirely from the Huli Jing, the sound is close enough to provide constant teasing - but maybe is also a source of greater destiny and power.

Đời xưa, chuột vốn là một giống linh thiêng ở trên Trời. Trời giao cho nó giữ chìa khóa kho lúa của Trời. Nhưng chuột không phải là một loài đáng tin cẩn, nhận được giữ chìa khóa, cứ tự do đến mở kho rủ nhau vào ăn rả rích hết bao nhiêu là lúa. Sau Trời biết, lấy làm giận lắm, mới không cho ở trên ấy nữa, mà đuổi xuống dưới hạ giới để sai giữ chìa khóa lẫm thóc của nhân gian. Nhưng chứng nào tật ấy, chuột lại rủ nhau vào lẫm thóc của người rả rích ăn no nê. Đến nỗi người phải có câu than rằng: "Chuột kia xưa ở nơi nào ? Bây giờ ăn lúa nhà tao thế này ?"
