This world of martial heroes has never been as simple as settling scores and living freely. Everyone here says, “Those born with extraordinary talent are destined for greatness,” yet few mention that this envied gift is an invisible pair of shackles from the moment of birth, deciding the path you must take, the person you must become, the sins you must bear, and even whom you should or should not love. People see only the dazzling image of a young genius roaming the world with a sword, never the fate chart hanging high above the nine-tiered tower of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. It has already assigned an inevitable path to everyone who comes into prominence, calling it “the will of Heaven,” when in truth it forges living people into rivets that hold the old order together.
