A Sword to Save a Life

Xianxia mentor-disciple romance, older man and younger man. Not many people are into this, so I’m really just cooking for myself here. Told from the bottom’s point of view. A gentle master raises an innocent child, never imagining he might raise him all wrong~ Two powerful male leads: the gentle master is actually cold-hearted and ruthless, surviving in a desperate land by killing, yet his deepest attachment is to Ji Ran. His innocent young disciple, meanwhile, has a mind full of schemes. He devotes himself to the Dao, and uses the other 799 of his 800 clever ideas to protect Zhang Huaiqing. After thirteen years of being raised by Zhang Huaiqing, Ji Ran grows into the person Zhang hoped he would become. After fourteen years, longing becomes an illness, and the person he hoped Ji Ran would become can also be the person he loves. There are some original headcanons. The main plot is about saving all living beings. It may be clichéd, but I like it. Though it’s not quite about saving all living beings: it’s more like all living beings saving themselves. Many characters get plenty of attention; this isn’t just a two-man show. Ji Ran has a golden finger, and his overpowered moments are immensely satisfying. There’s a little angst, but it has a happy ending~
