Synopsis

He was a cook, a taciturn cook in the inn's back kitchen. His job was to cut meat and vegetables. There was always more meat and produce to chop, just as the sorrow in his heart was endless and impossible to untangle. He was skilled with a knife. Everyone who had seen him wield one said so.

His knife was a butcher's cleaver, its edge already full of nicks, much like his life.

His life had always been incomplete. But his hands were terrifyingly perfect: broad, rough, with prominent knuckles, and every movement as steady as a rock.

That was why he was called Xiao Can.

He had no friends. His only companions were this knife and the jug of wine on the table.

Any Pure Wuxia Novels?

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
