I have a blade that can borrow your life. Pay it back in three years. If you can't, your life is mine.
Shen Nian inherits the Life-Lending Blade with only one year left to live. He collects debts, extends his life, delivers face-slapping, and defies fate.
The blade is called the Pact of Life and Death, and the ledger has been opened. The first debtor is a warlord.
