The Netherworld Blood River reflects a marriage contract from a past life, while nine layers of coffins conceal the truth behind a god’s murder.
Xiao Yun grips the Startrace Sword, forged over three hundred years by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, unaware that his fiancée Lu Xue’s soul is being nurtured inside its scabbard. When the Nine Nether Cold Spring corrodes the marriage contract’s markings, he finally realizes that the supposed chance encounter among the Star Ruins was actually a death trap laid by Lu Xue across nine cycles of reincarnation.
Star charts devour souls; names are carved into sword steles.
Those bound together on the Three Lives Stone are both cultivation partners and mortal enemies.
The Star God’s coffin coveted by the young master of the Yellow Springs Sect contains Lu Xue’s dismembered seven emotions and six desires. The blood-red annotations on the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s secret edict expose her dual identity as both the mastermind and the sacrifice. Meanwhile, the Star God markings spreading across Xiao Yun’s right arm are transforming the Frostflower Pact from the Secret Record of Guanghan into the Star-Burying Art, a technique that devours the heavens.
Reunited in this life, their bridal finery becomes a killing formation.
When the Startrace Sword finally pierces Lu Xue’s heart, what bursts forth is not blood, but the nuptial wine she personally sealed three hundred years ago.
“Our marriage pact began as a scheme, but it must end with the stars’ fall.”
In this god-slaying romance, pledged on the Three Lives Stele, who is truly the one moving the pieces?
