Synopsis

Prologue / The Unsheathed Sword

Sima Qian wrote: “These men all had pent-up thoughts that found no outlet, so they wrote of past events and reflected on those yet to come.”

Yao Mingda wrote: “Books always have prefaces, written to show off.” Today, I use the language of the human world to speak of matters in heaven. This preface pours out my pent-up feelings, recounting the past and contemplating what lies ahead.

Long ago, Ma Tixiao wrote Poems from the Heart. Now I follow his example and compose The Hard Road:

Born with a nature as clear as a stream,

A lone-sleeved gull drifts through rain and mist.

Dragon light brushes the clouds, cleaving sun and moon;

A bamboo book faces the wind, standing through spring and autumn.

Barefoot, I trample the unjust road;

In plain clothes, I wrap myself in bitter cold and sorrow.

Bo Yi and Shu Qi refused the grain of lords and dukes;

Why should a village dog keep barking without end?

That is why this is called The Unsheathed Sword. Its cold gleam flashes free: where does its point aim? It plows through the cruel and cleanses the wicked, cutting down demons and vanquishing evil. When it kills, it draws blood; when it saves, it sees the rescue through. Evil must be eradicated; until it is cleansed, the sword will not return. For a thousand autumns and ten thousand years, its sword aura will linger.

The Lead Endures Endless Torment and Hardship, Then Defies Fate and Changes Their Destiny (No Romance)

A cultivation story with a really unhinged protagonist. They have a secret past that mustn't be discovered. When they're weak and get bullied at the start, they fight back desperately and viciously, like a rabid dog. They have their own pride and won't bow their head, and they always pay people back for every slight. Are there any stories like this?
