As the young mistress of the Nanhua Sect, Wei Jiang’s greatest dream in life is to leave the sect.
One time, while away from home, she sees injustice and rescues a boy who has been enslaved.
The two travel together for a month, but Wei Jiang is eventually captured by her clansmen and dragged back.
Over the next seven years, Wei Jiang runs away from home many times, only to be caught by the sect every time.
On her eighteenth birthday, she runs away again, this time heading north without being spotted. Just as she begins to congratulate herself, she realizes someone has been following her all along.
It’s a young swordsman with an iron sword on his back, dressed in black and sparing with words.
Wei Jiang nervously holds out her bundle. “Young hero, whatever my master is paying you, I’ll double it. Please, stop following me.”
The young swordsman is silent for a long while. “Wherever you wish to go, miss, I’ll escort you there.”
Wei Jiang: “? Wait, who are you?”
