He was once a god behind the Bronze Gate, unmoved by joy or sorrow. But because of a single blade, he came to know human love and hate.
In 1948, Zhang Qiling broke free of the shackles of the Zhang family's ancient mansion and stopped before an unmarked antique shop. Inside, the black-gold ancient saber lay silent, yet it made him surrender a hundred years of his life.
The shopkeeper, Wuxi, was mysterious and aloof. She stayed by his side for a hundred years and taught him swordsmanship. Just as he finally grew accustomed to her company, she vanished like the morning dew, returning to the blade. Only then did he understand: she was the sole glimmer of light in his dark childhood, a remnant soul left behind when the ancient divine beast Bai Qilin Wanwan exhausted her spirit to save him.
He crossed the world in search of her, seeking to restore her true essence. He watched her regain a human body, carrying their child. He thought this was the final chapter of their fate, only to watch helplessly as the Qilin bloodline consumed her, killing both mother and child.
Years passed. He found a group of like-minded friends...
