Legends of the Mountains and Seas: I Am a Young Knife-Seller on Credit

At seven years old, a mischievous boy encounters a master in the mountains and pulls out the two life-saving whiskers growing from the master's mouth.

The master says that the boy is his destiny, so he must take him as a disciple.

I travel through the mountains with my master and watch mayflies live and die in a single day. Deeply moved, I finally become his disciple.

In the mountains, I also meet Chuchu. She is the daughter of a mayfly spirit and a fox demon, blessed with the beauty of a fox immortal but doomed to the short lifespan of a mayfly.

Later, Chuchu dies young, and I am overcome with grief. My master says that saving her is both difficult and easy.

From then on, I set out on the path of trading borrowed knives for the fate and fortune of Heaven, all to save Chuchu and bring her back to life as soon as possible.
