He was a kitchen hand, stranded on Killing Island, kindhearted and softhearted;
she was the mighty Black Tortoise Guardian, feared by all, a ruthless killer.
He was baptized in blood on the Asura battlefield, personally named by the King of Slaughter, and rose to become an assassin;
she took him to Jiangnan to hone his skills through killing, sparing no one, young or old.
She was his weakness. To save him, she was struck by arrows, blinded, and left without her martial arts;
he was her destined calamity. Through countless twists and turns, she would rather keep vigil alone at his stone tomb than ever abandon or regret him.
He would rather bear the whole truth himself than seal away all her sorrow with golden needles.
Because
he promised
that he would be her one and only husband.
They were once the invincible "Kitchen Trio" of Killing Island.
Fate separated them, and fate brought them together again.
The King of Slaughter vs. the Medical Immortal vs. the Sage of Medicine
One sought power, one sought love, and one sought revenge.
Misunderstandings bred resentment;
compassion led them to bare their hearts;
forgiveness let them stay together.
Even their tombs would be placed side by side, so they could remain together, forever.
He was left orphaned and stranded on Killing Island because of the Black Tortoise Envoy.
He finally got his revenge, but only because the Black Tortoise Envoy saw through the poison plot, regretted her deeds, and willingly gave her life to atone for her crimes.
He tried to assassinate the Sage of Medicine, never realizing that the man was A Man's biological father.
A Man went from hating him with all her heart when she knew nothing, to loving him all the more deeply once she learned the truth.
He secretly used golden needles to seal away all of Dieying's memories.
Dieying died in his arms: the deeper the hatred, the deeper the love.
Love and hate are separated by a single thought.
This is a story that spans life and death.
What kind of story is it?
That depends on your perspective, and how you interpret it.
