The Tiger's Tribulation

[Dark Wuxia + Aestheticized Violence]

Not a romance. Dual male and female perspectives, starting in Volume Two.

Yan Jing was once the pride of the Huxiao Sect, a righteous and upright prodigy whose fists could shake the land. But to save his benefactor, Shen Qingshuang, he willingly joins the Poison Sect and practices demonic arts. Before long, however, he discovers that this so-called “debt for saving his life” was a lie from the very beginning. Behind Shen Qingshuang’s smile lies a scheme. She guides him, step by step, into corruption, until he destroys with his own hands the righteous path he once upheld. By the time Yan Jing finally sees the truth, he is already lost in darkness, with no way back.

Bai Yuling is a once-in-a-century sword prodigy from Lingxu Peak. Imprisoned in a stone chamber from childhood to train in seclusion, she knows nothing of the world. But when she emerges with sword in hand, her sealed memories suddenly return. The bloody past that was erased, and the “No-Killing Curse” carved into her sword, both tell her that the life she thought so brilliant was a carefully woven lie. With her faith shattered, she goes completely mad. She will judge the world with the sword in her hand, and even if rivers of blood must flow, she will reshape the “Heavenly Way” in her heart.

At first, the two briefly join forces for their shared interests. But as their obsessions grow ever more extreme, their paths diverge for good.
