[Two male leads, equally powerful and devoted to each other]
The renowned Northern Garrison General (top) VS the dashing young swordsman (bottom)
“After winning fame and success, he was the only youthful spirit I wanted to keep hidden in my heart.”
Weary of court life, the renowned general entered the martial world to find the spirited young man he had once been. There, he met a swordsman who rekindled his passion.
Xiao Yi, the famous Northern Garrison General, laid down his armor and retired, hoping only to find somewhere peaceful.
But amid the misty rain of Jiangnan, he met Xie Zhifei, a dashing young swordsman.
Xie Zhifei’s sword flashed like a startled swan, and his smile blossomed like a flower. He reminded Xiao Yi of the dream of the martial world he had lost in his youth.
It was only when pursuers caught up with them that night that Xiao Yi realized
Their meeting had not been fate. It was a trap carefully laid by Xie Zhifei.
“Why did you approach me?” Xiao Yi asked, sword raised, his voice cold and hoarse.
Xie Zhifei’s bloodstained fingertips brushed the blade. In his eyes lay a pain and a determination Xiao Yi couldn’t understand:
“Not for your fame, not for your secret treasure, ”
“Only to give you back to this world.”
The plot doesn't drag on, it's quite enjoyable.
