Jiang Jiqing, the former leader of the Yiping Sect, lost control while practicing a forbidden Yin Spirit art. His wife and child died in the rampage that followed, and from then on he vanished from the world, leaving no trace of his whereabouts.
That bitter winter, heavy snow blanketed a thousand miles. Several shadowy figures carried a blood-soaked baby girl to a desolate mountaintop and abandoned her as casually as a worthless object. But the girl’s fate was extraordinary. Jiang Jiqing happened to pass by, rescued her, and named her Luo Wan, as if the name could give a fitting home to the life that had arrived so late on that cold night.
That same year, Jiang Jiqing passed away. At just six years old, Jiang Luowan began a life of wandering, until she met Lin Zixian. The Lin family took her in, and she lived with them for twelve years. Later, she and Lin Zixian went together to join the Yiping Sect as disciples. She thought the years ahead would bring peaceful days of mountain breezes and swords, but the Netherworld’s Yin Stone suddenly appeared, and the Yin Spirit King’s Changning Sword broke free of its seal. The demon and fiend clans fought fiercely to claim the strange stone, and storms gathered across the Six Realms.
With the Yin Stone’s power, the Yin Spirit King was reborn, and the Six Realms faced ruin. The Lin family was also wiped out, and long-buried secrets from the past were revealed one by one in a tide of blood. The secret Jiang Luowan had kept in her heart for years was finally made public. With countless chains weighing on her shoulders, she slowly walked beneath a pear tree laden with snow and held her sword across herself, choosing to remain forever among the softly falling white petals.
