Playing Nice Is Just a Front; Draw My Sword and I’m at the Peak

[True genius + no male lead + maximum combat power + no romance]

Jiang Guiyue, born with a mutated ice spirit root and a natural sword bone, comes from the mortal realm and stuns the world with a single sword strike. She has no idea she is the heir and young mistress of a hidden immortal clan, lost to the outside world. All Jiang Guiyue wants is to cultivate quietly and protect the peace of her adoptive family. But during the sect selection, the aloof Sword Saint Yun Che, as ethereal as an immortal, makes an exception and takes her as his personal disciple.

Beneath the calm surface, however, dark currents are stirring. The Thousand Mechanisms Sect’s sinister artifacts, the Spirit-Devouring Alliance’s bloody sacrifices, the mortal realm’s imperial family and its century-old secrets... One conspiracy after another draws her into the vortex. When the truth of her origins is finally revealed, she learns that her birth parents’ deaths and her family’s betrayal are all connected to the lofty “Sanctuary” of the immortal realm.

From then on, she wields her sword in pursuit of the Dao, cleansing evil with frost and comprehending reincarnation through cycles of flourishing and decay. From the Dao-seeking tournament to the Five Realms’ contest, from the mortal world to the heights of the immortal realm, she stands alongside her closest friends, exposing a shocking conspiracy and cutting down every demon and fiend. This journey tempers her sword heart and gives form to the Heavenly Dao. It is also the path every god must walk.
