“The male- and female-oriented genres have a brand-new crossover!!!”
[Male-oriented: cultivation, underdog’s rise, breaking from the sect to forge a new path] [No female lead]
[Female-oriented: palace intrigue, a talented woman in the imperial harem, a black-lotus empress] [Multiple male leads]
[Two equally powerful leads] [Conspiracies + twists]
Across the realms, both can stand unmatched:
“This time, we’re the protagonists!!!”
Xiao Jue, a Sword Venerable who clawed his way up from the bottom of the Tianxuan Continent, is about to make a name for himself in the sect tournament. He closes his eyes, opens them again, and finds himself a sickly, wheezing young lord deep in the imperial palace.
Su Qinghe, the most talented woman in the Great Sheng Dynasty, is plotting how to bring down her rival. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself standing in a sect arena, with muscles hard as stone.
He thinks she’s delicate and frail, with a heart full of schemes; she finds him crude and brainless, good for nothing but swinging a sword.
Until...
Wearing her skin, he sends the crown prince’s rival to his grave with a cup of poisoned wine.
In his body, she uses a masterful political scheme to bring the sect elders to their knees.
He teaches her: “Those who yield don’t deserve to live.”
She makes him see: “Anyone who knows only how to kill is a beast.”
As the truth behind their two worlds slowly comes to light, are they the key to breaking each other’s deadly predicament, or sacrifices in an even greater conspiracy?
