Three hundred years ago, the Sword Immortal Qingshuang was betrayed and killed by her junior fellow disciple, Xuanxiao. Three hundred years later, her consciousness was trapped inside a decommissioned AI flying sword, about to be destroyed.
Lu Chen, a garbage collector in the Lower City, found the talking sword in a pile of scrap.
“Those mere drones dare show disrespect to me?”
A cool female voice rang out in his mind, carrying the ancient pride of a bygone era and the confusion of the modern world. Her name was Qingshuang. She couldn't remember who she was, only that she was powerful... and afraid of being abandoned.
In this world, where cultivation technology was monopolized, “scrap” had no right to exist. But Lu Chen had one principle: no one was allowed to destroy something that shouldn't be thrown away.
He fled to the black market with Qingshuang, turning down a fortune and refusing to surrender this “dangerous” flying sword. When the enforcement squads closed in, when the mystery of her past was revealed, when Qingshuang used up all her energy in battle and fell into a deep sleep, Lu Chen finally understood that the people pursuing them weren't his only enemy. He had to fight an entire world that classified people as scrap.
“You're not scrap.” He gripped the hilt. “I won't let you think of yourself as scrap.”
Cyberpunk meets the mythology of immortal cultivation, and a junk dealer teams up with an amnesiac sword immortal. When spiritual energy is monopolized by the upper class, an AI flying sword longs for freedom, and a childhood friend who works as a doctor vies with a proud, prickly sword immortal for his affection...
This time, the scrap is going to overturn the world's rules.
