Synopsis

A tale of redemption and tortured love between a disgraced villain who has lost his martial arts and his blind younger sister. Han Yi was a once-in-a-century sword prodigy of the Taibai Sect, but overnight he lost everything and became a pariah. The sect's sacred treasure is stolen, and he takes the blame and is punished. Shen Xiaozhao, whom he loves like a younger sister, dies on the execution platform trying to protect him. On his wedding day, the head of the Wudang Sect is murdered in the bridal hall, and his beloved Yun Muqing personally issues an order to hunt him down. In his darkest hour, he saves Ruan Xiaoli, a blind swordswoman who has sworn to kill him, unaware that she already knows who he is... A dangerous attraction: a revenge-seeking woman who is blind but sees clearly, and a fugitive swordsman whose skills have been completely destroyed. Far from the turmoil: the pursuit orders of the five great sects cannot reach this bitterly cold land, and the spies of the Tiance Manor cannot pick up their trail. Living under assumed names: he is no longer Han Yi, the “master-killing villain,” and she is no longer Ruan Xiaoli, the “Wudang prodigy.” They are simply two outcasts on the run, abandoned by the martial world. When old enemies return, what choice will Ruan Xiaoli make between avenging her master's death and pursuing a forbidden love? A chaotic age of political intrigue: the lord of Tiance Manor secretly manipulates the five great sects, while the heavily armored Iron Pagoda, sealed away for twenty years, makes its return. As conspiracies in the martial world and the imperial court come to light, who is truly moving the pieces? Reader advisory The male lead is in hell mode from the start: right wrist severed, meridians shattered. The female lead is sweet on the outside, dark within: gentle on the surface, but truly unhinged. All the supporting characters speak their minds: no misunderstandings caused by stupidity.

Looking for Purely Classical Martial Arts Stories, No Fantasy or Cultivation

I want a genuine wuxia novel, with no cultivation immortals or overpowered martial arts. A System or a golden finger is fine, either way. I’m looking for the kind where being able to lift a thousand jin makes you incredibly powerful. Nothing too ridiculous. A little over-the-top martial arts is okay, just not so extreme that people can dodge bullets.
