No romance + unconventional xianxia + the heroine becomes incredibly cool later on + coming-of-age story + lighthearted comedy
Jiang Xue is the ninety-ninth-ranked assassin on the killers' list.
She has extraordinary immortal arts and carries seven peerless swords, yet doesn't know a single sword technique.
She refuses to accept it and vows to become the greatest under heaven!
(This girl is the real deal: if trouble comes, she'll step up.)
Han Ziqing is a scholar with no strength to even kill a chicken, yet he's absurdly powerful.
He knows every martial art under heaven and has mastered the mysteries of time.
But he's a coward and a schemer, and tricks Jiang Xue into protecting him on his journey west.
(This guy's no good: when trouble comes, he'll really run away.)
Han Ziqing: “What's your dream?”
Jiang Xue: “To become the greatest under heaven and make lots and lots of money!”
Han Ziqing: “What about sweet romance?”
Jiang Xue: “Romance? Men will only slow down my sword!”
Where do immortal arts come from, and why are some people born with them?
Where do immortal arts go, and why do the same arts reappear in the world after their users die?
The two set out to uncover the truth, overcoming one obstacle after another until they reach the edge of the world.
But there they discover that the edge of the world is actually a System! And it's got a bug!
And Jiang Xue turns out to be the key to the System...
