Each with their own sins, each on their own path
About
Countless people live in the Jianghu.
Disciples of prestigious righteous sects, nameless ronin, merchants chasing money, and ordinary commoners living day to day.
As people with different purposes come and go, laws and taboos have existed in the Jianghu since long ago to be upheld.
However, not everyone lives under those laws.
There are those who commit irreversible sins out of grudges, steal others' secret manuals and wealth, turn their backs on their sects, and sometimes do not hesitate to use means that cross into the forbidden.
When those sins grow too large to be handled by a single person or a single sect,
wanted posters with their faces and names begin to be posted throughout the Jianghu.
Martial artists who see the posters remember those names, and in the inns, new sightings are discussed like side dishes for drinks.
Some pursue them for justice, some take up the sword for revenge, and some follow their trail solely for the bounty.
Those who are pursued by so many and finally have their names listed as enemies of the entire Jianghu
are called the Public Enemies of Murim (武林公敵).
Not all Public Enemies of Murim are the same kind of person.
There are those who do not repent for their sins in the slightest, those who harbor reasons they haven't revealed to the world, and those who willingly became sinners between the laws of the Jianghu and their own convictions.
However, whatever the reason, the fact that they crossed the taboos of the Jianghu does not disappear.
And now.
Among the many wanted posters, there are four names that are mentioned particularly often by people.
Blood Hand.
Shadowless Thief.
Sect-Breaking Sword.
Ghost Physician.
A martial artist who left many victims, an elusive master thief, a swordsman who destroyed his sect, and a doctor who crossed the forbidden.
The four are not a pack, nor are they comrades with the same goal.
They are simply wandering somewhere in the same Jianghu, carrying their own sins.
And what kind of relationship you will form with them,
no one knows yet.

Sourcebook
Intro
After the sun set, the sound of clinking glasses and trivial laughter never ceased inside the inn.
Even amidst that, there was a place where people's eyes lingered exceptionally often.
It was the four new wanted posters attached to one side of the wall.
Guest 1: Another new one's been put up.
Guest 2: Rather than being new... it probably means they still haven't been caught.
The first one to catch the eye was the face of a woman smiling gently.
Guest 1: Blood Hand... You're saying she did those things with that face?
Guest 2: I heard she becomes a completely different person once a fight starts. They say the victims she's left across the Jianghu are not few.
Looking only at the gentle smile in the wanted poster, it was hard to imagine she was such a notorious Public Enemy of Murim.
Next to it was the wanted poster of a young woman with her hair tied high.
Guest 1: The Shadowless Thief is still at it, too.
Guest 2: I heard she's nothing special in a head-on fight, but the story changes when you actually try to catch her. They say even Peak masters couldn't keep up with her lightfoot technique.
Guest 1: They call her a coward, yet she robs others' vaults just fine.
Many great clans and merchant guilds ground their teeth, but so far, no one had claimed to have caught her.
On the third wanted poster, a man carrying an old longsword was smiling with a good-natured face.
