A good-for-nothing alchemy prodigy heroine and a cursed sword cultivator hero. Together, they unite alchemy and swordsmanship, depend on each other, and challenge the heavens.
Heroine: Yun Yan
Identity: At first, she is a junior member of a declining cultivation clan. Later, she becomes an alchemy supreme who shocks the Nine Heavens.
Talent: On the surface, she has a naturally weak Five-Element Spirit Root and cultivates extremely slowly, earning her the clan’s contempt. Beneath the surface, she bears an ancient alchemy lineage long thought extinct. She has an extraordinary affinity for spirit herbs, and her soul power far surpasses that of ordinary people, making her an alchemy prodigy unseen in ten thousand years. However, she needs a specific opportunity to awaken these gifts.
Personality: She appears gentle and yielding, but is strong-willed, clever, and patient, with principles and firm boundaries of her own. When refining pills, she is utterly focused and confident, her presence in full force. She treats those she trusts with wholehearted devotion.
Golden finger: She unexpectedly inherits the ancient alchemy treasure, the Nine-Turn Alchemy Heart Art. It contains wondrous pill recipes, alchemy techniques, fire control methods, and even combat arts. She also gains an unassuming natal alchemy furnace, a magical treasure that can grow stronger.
Goal: To change her fate, pursue the pinnacle of alchemy, and protect the people she loves.
Hero: Jin Cheng
Identity: A swordsmanship genius of extraordinary origins, apparently connected to a destroyed ancient sect or an old clan.
Talent: Born with a sword bone and exceptional insight into swordsmanship, he is invincible among cultivators of the same level and can even challenge those above him. But he bears a mysterious and powerful bloodline curse that brings him agonizing heart-devouring pain every month. The more powerful he becomes and the more spiritual energy he uses, the stronger the curse’s backlash, putting his life at risk.
Personality: At first, the curse makes him seem aloof and cold. He is a man of few words and dislikes engaging with others
