Synopsis

It takes several generations for the Gai family of Floating Cloud Manor to have a daughter, and every one of them is exceptionally clever and extraordinarily skilled in martial arts. Gai daughters are rare, but their fates are often tragic, the opposite of the women who marry into the family. Gai daughters-in-law all enjoy loving marriages, growing old together with their husbands, and living long, blessed lives. But the Gai daughters all die young, their hearts broken and their life’s blood drained by love. Not one of the five Gai women was an obscure figure. Each wreaked havoc across the martial world: Yin Qingluo, the “White-Haired Witch”; Lian Bihua, the “Beauty Turned Skeleton”; Fu Baixue, the “Six-Fingered Zither Demon”; Tong Xiaowan, the “Child Granny of the Tianshan Mountains”; and Yu Fengmian, the “Ethereal Immortal.” None lived to see thirty. And the cause of death for these peerless martial arts masters was always the same: a man! Of all things, love hurts the most. When Floating Cloud Manor welcomed the family’s sixth girl, the entire household went on high alert. Believing education should start in childhood, they racked their brains to bring her up as a failure, hoping she would be the exception among Gai daughters and finally overturn their seemingly cursed fate. And so the eldest young lady of Floating Cloud Manor, Gai Mingyue, the eighteenth-generation descendant of Gai Nie, the greatest swordsman under heaven, was raised by her family into a good-for-nothing.
