The Scars of Youth

A legend has been passed down across the Linghuang Continent: the Wheel of Time can turn back the years, but only in exchange for one's youth.

Shen Yan, a servant disciple of Qingyun Sect, has borne the slur “bringer of doom to his family” since childhood. In truth, he is a sealed Time Spirit. On the eve of his expulsion from the sect, he discovers half of a bronze fragment carved with tree-ring patterns inside a wooden box left behind by his grandfather. It is none other than a piece of the Wheel of Time. The fragment enters his body, and memories of time long buried awaken with a roar. He finds he can briefly turn back the moments that have just passed.

Meanwhile, Su Qingyan, the sect's Holy Maiden, is struggling to break through her bottleneck. Her bonded spirit artifact, the Light-Tracing Mirror, suddenly stirs, its beam pointing straight toward the servant quarters. The fragment in Shen Yan's hands is the very piece of the wheel she has sought for years.

One is a “jinxed star” everyone bullies, the other a prodigy adored by all. Their paths should never have crossed, but the wheel binds their fates together. When the demon race slaughters Qingyun Sect to seize the wheel, and the sect's buried secrets are unveiled by time, Shen Yan uses the fragment to rise step by step, while Su Qingyan awakens her inheritance through the Light-Tracing Mirror's resonance.

When the fragments are reunited, youth and the years will collide, and time and spiritual grace will intertwine. Together, they will wield their youth as a blade, cut through the darkness, and rewrite the fate of the continent!
