[Travel + fantasy imagination + resourceful upgrade + leapfrog counter-kill + single female protagonist]
When Lin Che opened his eyes, he was locked in an iron cage and hung toward an abyss where a hundred thousand oath-breakers were buried.
All beasts outside the city are knocking at the gate, and the gentlemen inside the city decide to sacrifice a hundred prisoners on death row to borrow three days of peace from heaven and earth.
People here trade their oaths for power.
Some people swear that they will never retreat for the rest of their lives, so no one can stop the sword; some people swear that they will never lie, so one word can make the difference between life and death. But the stronger the oath, the heavier the price. Once broken, it will turn into an "oathbreaker" who swallows people.
Others could only copy the oath style monopolized by the aristocratic family, but Lin Che could see the true meaning of each oath after it was accepted by heaven and earth.
So, before the abyss, he made the first oath to himself:
"Before sunrise, I will never take a step back from anyone who truly wants to kill me."
From sacrifices, death row prisoners, border town pawns, to human oath-bearers that the princes dare not take lightly, every yoke he puts on himself eventually becomes a knife that cuts towards the old heaven.
But the girl next to him who never told the truth always told him with a smile:
"Lin Che, the thing I regret most is that I survived the cage with you."
