Shen Qingchen, a mortal orphan, enters the Yunmiao Sect through a twist of fate and joins the remote, desolate Luoxia Peak, where he studies under Daoist Kuzhu. With only average talent and a humble background, he is looked down on by his fellow disciples. Yet he clings to his steadfast resolve and trains day and night, honing his swordsmanship through the simplest of techniques.
At the Tianchi Martial Gathering, he crosses paths with Su Ningshuang, a cold and aloof prodigy. Wielding a sword of common iron, he stands against her frostbound sword aura. Though he loses, he earns glory, and his battle shocks the entire sect. In its wake, rivalries within the inner sect begin to flare. Disciples from the various peaks make things difficult for him and push him aside, while undercurrents stir throughout the immortal sect.
With his old sword in hand and the Still the Heart Art as his practice, Shen Qingchen quiets his mind and hones his intent amid a sea of bamboo. Neither arrogant nor servile, he advances one step at a time. Amid scorn and hardship, he holds fast to his Daoist heart; through encounters seemingly ordained by fate, affection quietly takes root. With bamboo-like resilience and a clear heart, he defies the constraints of his birth and the perils of his sect.
A tale of a young immortal’s lonely, restrained path, and a fated bond born of frost and bamboo. Watch the green bamboo, sprung from mortal dust, at last grow skyward, its sword pointed at the heavens.
The books you write must be five stars, hehehe
