"Your sword has warmth, but I was born cold."
Pei Yuanchen, a swordsman from a humble family, will always remember how that black sword knocked down his green sword on the spring examination field in the twelfth year of Yonghe. Yu Jin, the prince of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, an aristocratic son with a scar on his right eyebrow and amber eyes, nailed him to the loser's seat with half a move.
They should have been strangers separated by clouds and mud.
Until Pei Yuanchen came across the prince's secret of drinking blood in a dark alley, until the theft of the border map tied the two of them on the same desperate road. When the Beidi cavalry pressed on, and when the court conspiracy surfaced, they discovered:
- Yu Jin has the blood of Princess Beidi flowing in her body, and she needs to drink human blood every month to suppress the mysterious ice poison.
- Pei Yuanchen was responsible for the massacre of his entire family, and the murderer was actually engraved with the emblem of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
- That fate-changing martial arts competition was originally a game carefully planned by someone.
"Your Majesty, kill me now and save Du Feng's bounty." In the ruined temple on a snowy night, Pei Yuanchen put his wrist against Yu Jin's lips.
Yu Jin tasted the saltiness of tears when he bit the wrist: "Why..."
"Because you said -" The edge of the sword penetrated into the enemy's heart. Pei Yuanchen turned around in the rain of blood, "My sword is very hot."
