Everyone says Li Fusu is a cripple. The Yuan-Locking Needles seal his meridians, Ghostgate Decoction tests his poison resistance, and he's the lowest-ranked medicinal subject in Yonglü Fang. His whole life, the words “cripple” have kept Li Fusu locked in a death cell, until he stands up and begins hunting down everyone who ever labeled him. From taking a blade for someone to collecting debts for them, from Dustseed to the top of the rankings. He wants the martial world to never call him a cripple again; he wants no one in this land to be able to trap those behind him; and he wants the Guarding the Plain Sword to be more than a broken blade, to become the first flame raised by everyone who has ever been trampled.
