[Decisive and ruthless × fiercely protective big brother, sharp-minded × exhilarating, unbreakable sibling bond × ice-and-fire pupils, devoted to each other × easy and stress-free reading] Siblings cultivate immortality! Plenty of emotional drama!
On a night stained red with blood, an ice orchid blooms. A young man takes up his blade and shatters the chains of fate.
Fifteen-year-old herb-gatherer Wang Yi ventures alone into a sheer ravine to fight for a century-old Blood Ginseng, hoping to buy back his grandmother’s silver hairpin, which is shaped like an ice orchid.
On a stormy night, Rock Wolves circle him and a Red-Scaled Serpent lies in wait. But nothing is as treacherous as the human heart: an ambush by Zhao Tiezhu, the village bully’s son, awakens a mysterious ice pupil in the boy as he teeters on the edge of life and death.
When a small box filled with icy blue liquid seeps into his wound, he hears the faint laughter of an ancient girl and becomes burdened with a curse that can send him into an uncontrollable frenzy.
“Brother, your eyes...!”
As blood stains Wang Yi’s eyes, Wang Zhiqi’s icy tears turn into chains, pulling her brother back from the abyss of slaughter.
Their home is burned to the ground, and their loved ones are brutally killed. Bearing a blood feud and carrying an ice-patterned jade pendant engraved with “Together forever, never apart,” the siblings set out on the path to immortality at the Xuantian Sect.
In the mist-shrouded forests, a mysterious soul follows them like a shadow. During the sect’s trials, their ice-and-fire pupils conceal a startling secret.
The arrival of Lin Qinghe, a hunter’s son, and Su Mingyue, a healer, makes their flight from home a little less lonely.
Yet the small box in the Blood Ginseng cave quietly gulps down spiritual energy, while undercurrents stir atop Mount Xuantian.
When the truth behind the massacre of their village reveals a thousand-year-old chain of cause and effect tied to the ice orchid jade pendant, Wang Yi finally understands: the icy blue essence that entered his veins that night was an eternal pact to walk alongside the Demon God.
The Ice Soul is the pact; the Blood Pupil is the oath.
These eyes, which see through the cycles of life and death, will one day burn every god and Buddha in the heavens!
