His Knife in the Fight for the Throne: Killing by Day, Fighting Off Flirts by Night

[A powerful female lead who attracts all kinds of men + lighthearted, sweet romance + unrequited love]

The heroine’s origins are explosive: an ancient primordial beast, born from the poison in the Heavenly Emperor’s blood, and Empress of the Spirit Clan. Evil cultivators hunt her to use as a cultivation furnace.

The heroine is outrageously powerful: naturally formidable, with her bloodline awakening.

The heroine is emotionally single-minded: she turns away every man and takes up her sword to search for him.

The heroine is a lot of fun! (Men in the mortal realm line up to court her.)

Multiple storylines intertwine:

Main couple (Lin Yue and the immortal cultivator Fu Feng): salvation and awakening, followed by a long search

Male lead 1 (Xiao Qing): mortal, a mad tyrant who uses her and forces his love on her

Male lead 2 (Du Heng): mortal, a gentle and refined scholar who offers healing love

Male lead 3 (Lin Boxian): mortal, her sworn elder brother, bound to her by deep affection

Male lead 4 (Ying Tianlian): descendant of the God of Fire, sharing life and death with her in a push and pull of ambiguous feelings

Every male lead cries, “Am I not good enough? Why must she spend her whole life searching for that man’s footprints?”

These are two different kinds of love.

There is nothing special about admiring a dazzling gemstone.

But that man picked a pebble from the filth of a gutter, washed it clean, and held it in his palm.

And that “pebble” turned out to have an extraordinary origin.

The girl was born in the primordial age.

In ancient times, a stone lay in the forest, cracking open like an egg.

She emerged from the stone and opened her eyes: golden, slit pupils, her gaze laced with poison.

She was a beast, bloodthirsty and wild.

Until one day, a gravely wounded cultivator fell from the sky, then later left.

After that, a wandering heroine roamed the world, as nimble as the wind and as cool as the moon.

Following vague and elusive clues, she searched for the man who had once reached into the filthy gutter and picked her up.
