Three Lives Return to the Ruins

The Three Realms split apart, the Nine Li emerged, and destiny returned to the Ruins. Swordsman Xie Changgeng had known ever since he first took up a sword that he was the greatest under heaven. Diviner Su Zhiming had long foreseen that she would fall in love with him, and that they would die together at the hands of the same person. Gunman Lu Wuhui never fired a shot without seeing it through, while healer Shen Jianwei wanted only for the world to be free of pain. They met by chance, yet would protect each other with their lives. Buddhist cultivator Shi Wuhen was without hatred, resentment, or regret, while the seductive demoness Hua Jianlian asked only that he look at her once more. Three pairs of those who defied fate, three journeys toward an ending destined to be tragic. To save the world, they must sacrifice the lives bound by their deepest love: the sword breaks, the gun shatters, the Buddha perishes. The heavens are mended, the Nine Li sealed, and humanity survives. But no one remembers them. Above the Ruins, only a sword, a spear, a string of Buddhist prayer beads, and a flower that never fades remain.
