In the three months after her mother’s death, Shi Yuanqiu breaks through three realms in succession, becoming the undisputed prodigy of Wuwang Sect.
During the Trial of the Coldlands at eighteen, he finds someone half-dead and takes him back.
He nurses him with care, never suspecting that the man is the master of Guixi Pavilion.
They meet again at the Lingyun Gathering, but now they face each other with swords drawn.
The incense burns out, and neither can claim victory.
The two enter the Sunken Abyss together.
Secrets buried for years lie at its depths. As Shi Yuanqiu and the others venture into the Sunken Abyss, the truth emerges bit by bit, shrouded in mystery.
Together, the two expose the lies of the Lingyun Sect leader.
As they spend their days and nights together, affection blooms between them.
Xie Ziqian knows full well that Shi Yuanqiu is the daughter of the enemy who destroyed his sect, yet he knowingly lets himself fall. But beneath all that hatred, can they truly understand and stay by each other’s side?!
On the eve of their wedding, everything changes in an instant.
“Should I call you Xie Ziqian, or Xie Wuyan?” Shi Yuanqiu presses the sword Wangyue to Xie Ziqian’s throat. A breeze passes, and a single strand of hair could be severed.
The moon casts a clear reflection, and ripples stir gently across the water.
Xie Ziqian steps closer instead of backing away. “You knew all along.”
“Yes.”
“I knew from the moment you set foot in the Coldlands again.”
Their eyes meet, filled with sorrow too deep for words.
Shi Yuanqiu laughs bitterly at herself.
“So, were you planning to join forces with the enemy on our wedding day and attack Wuwang Sect?”
Xie Ziqian looks away, unable to face her. His thin lips part, and he murmurs, “Yes.”
When you’re trapped in a scheme, it’s hard to see how to break free.
The heaven-blessed Shi Yuanqiu × the spirited young Xie Wuyan
Wuwang Sect’s foremost prodigy × the master of Guixi Pavilion
Two powerful leads, an amnesia plot, and a second chance at love after heartbreak (a little angst). Female-centered story. The hero is led by the heroine throughout (devoted and loyal).
