Under the twin-born calamity, all living beings become pieces in the game. They are each other’s sword and scabbard, each other’s fate and tribulation.
Open this book, and you will fall into a storm of snow the likes of which the world has never seen
A rift opens in the heavens once every thousand years. It takes the twin forces of “order” and “disruption” to seal it.
Xiao Jin, the leading disciple of the prestigious Tianshu Sect, can subdue the world with one sword. Ling Xiao, the demon who slaughtered a city, can destroy the world with one sword.
They were once sectmates, closest friends, and even each other’s only weakness.
A betrayal orchestrated from the shadows turned the friends against each other and plunged the world into chaos.
Three years later, Ling Xiao, the Venerable Sword of the Lihuo Sect, returns in red and sacrifices the blood of three cities to force the thousand-year Lihuo Plum into bloom.
Xiao Jin, a Tianshu disciple, is ordered to hunt him down, only to discover that he himself is the sharpest piece on the board.
The Starfall Stone appears, able to change fate once, but at a price: one person will lose their name forever, and the other will fall into eternal torment.
As the greater good and personal grudges clash before the Gate of Guixu,
they finally understand: this so-called twin-born calamity is nothing more than a farewell letter from all living beings to two people.
[Highlights]
1. Stark opposites: an older, restrained top × a younger, unhinged bottom; they love and hurt each other, savoring sweetness on the edge of a blade.
2. The chains of fate: their tribulation marks are linked, and they share each other’s pain. Every flutter of the heart feels like being stabbed through it.
3. A tragic ensemble: beggars, women generals, scholars, noblewomen... everyone struggles to survive in the flood of fate.
“Would you choose one person to forsake if saving all living beings meant betraying them?”
“If betraying one person could save all living beings, would you regret it?”
