📖 Synopsis
“The green mountains see me as I am, and I see the green mountains as you.”
Xie Zhiyao, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, was once the brightest jewel in the capital. But when her spiritual root awakens, she is swept into a maelstrom of fantasy and political intrigue. Armed with a long sword, she sets foot on the path of cultivation as an ordinary mortal, only to fall from grace amid conspiracies and become a “good-for-nothing” in everyone's eyes.
Xiao Yichen, meanwhile, is a sword-cultivating prodigy the likes of which the Xuantian Sect has not seen in a century. Beneath his icy exterior lies a heart scorched by fate. He can slay demons with his sword, but he cannot sever the red thread that has bound him to Xie Zhiyao across three lifetimes.
As hidden attacks from the imperial court and sinister schemes from the cultivation world strike at once, the two go from mutual dislike to fighting side by side
“Xie Zhiyao, if this land will not accept you, I'll remake heaven and earth for you.”
“Xiao Yichen, your sword path is the world. Mine is you alone.”
