Traditional xuanhuan. No System, no transmigration, no golden finger, and not a monster-slaying, level-up story.
Plot-driven, with multiple female leads but no harem. Not an invincible power fantasy.
A simple trip home to visit his family turns into a catastrophe when a heretical cult destroys the city. Lin Yi, who has dreamed since childhood of being a wastrel to the very end, is drawn into the currents of the world as he tries to save his father.
He battles the proud and powerful, destroys heretical cults, challenges imperial authority, and conquers the cultivation world.
Forced to enter the fray, Lin Yi is swept along by fate. With a three-foot sword in hand, he untangles layer upon layer of mystery and uncovers the truth of history, only to sink ever deeper into the grand chess game of the world.
Lin Yi: "I would like to reason with everyone here."
"If I can't get through to you..."
"Then I'll let the sword in my hand do the talking."
"One way or another, someone will make things clear."
The opening is a slow burn, so please take your time reading.
I'd give myself a 5🌟 It's not too much.
