The "Seven Secrets of Heaven" are gradually coming to light, and hidden currents stir beneath the surface, carrying secrets of the former imperial treasury and an unparalleled sword manual from the previous dynasty.
Lin Buwen had barely descended the mountain with his dreams of the martial world when he fell into Xie Qi'an's hands. The white-clad man was frail as a sickly willow, and when his illness struck, he seemed ready to shatter in the wind. Yet Lin willingly became his "lackey." In search of five rare medicines to save his life, the young man plunged headlong into the vortex of the "Four Symbols Struggle."
But before he could find all the medicine, his hometown was reduced to scorched earth. Just as he gave his heart away, Uncle Qian fell beneath the blade of an old acquaintance. With hidden arrows from the imperial court ahead and a martial-world manhunt behind, the truth he must cut through includes not only his enemies, but also a bloodstained secret from thirty years ago and the mystery of his own origins.
Someone asked if he regretted it.
Lin Buwen tightened his grip on his sword and shielded the blood-coughing Xie Qi'an behind him. "Deep in the forest, perhaps I cannot hear the storm, but after you, Xie, I can only pray for peace."

A martial-world reader's take: A scheming, sickly beauty with a loyal puppy of a young hero, and every blade hides a little sweetness!
P.S. This story features two strong leads with their own ambitions. They only part so they can have the best reunion.
Recommended writing is good
