On a snowy night, he slaughtered all 187 members of her family, sparing only the girl curled beneath a table. For thirteen years, he raised her as a strict master, a “Sword Demon,” and the nightmare she loathed but could never escape. Then, at the instant a poisoned silver needle shot toward his throat, the truth was laid bare in all its bloody horror: the so-called blood feud was a staggering deception, a sacrifice of an entire clan orchestrated by their fathers’ generation!
The killer of old became her only protector, and the innocent orphan was dragged into the secrets of a fallen dynasty and a struggle over a legendary map to the imperial treasure. “Wanxue, stay alive. Protocol… as usual…”
As the crown prince becomes a puppet, the chancellor closes in, and old friends turn into vipers, she raises her bloodstained sword and faces the whole world. “Master, we’ll settle our score later. For now, anyone who wants you dead will have to answer to the sword in my hand!”
This is a forbidden master-disciple romance that begins in hatred and ends in protection, as two souls save each other amid political schemes and slaughter.
