Dark Ink and Pure Bamboo

In the northwest of the vast land of China, beneath the desolate Yunxu Mountains, lies a hidden village like a paradise. A young woman is about to leave the village and journey far away, and the black cat she raised from kittenhood leads a young man on a treasure hunt so he can give her a parting gift. Just as they are saying goodbye, a strange fireball tears across the sky, and a rain of blood stains the peach grove red. Disaster strikes without warning, leaving the two of them and the cat as the only survivors. Overnight, they are forced into the unknowable world of cultivation. The immortal sects are deep as the sea, and from then on they are separated by worlds. The young man carries the burden of revenge, taking one perilous step after another along the path of cultivation. The young woman has extraordinary talent, yet struggles to survive amid conspiracies. The black cat awakens its bloodline, while hidden forces watch with hungry eyes. Heaven and earth are the board, and all living beings are its pieces. The young man and woman are each other’s most unexpected variables, and the only ones to whom their lonely hearts can give themselves completely. When calamity strikes, the threads of fate binding the two of them and the cat will finally converge. This time, they will not fight merely to survive, but to defy heaven, rewrite their fates, and overturn the game that treats all living beings as pawns.
