The Blind Man Carries a Coffin, One Sword Cleaves the Heavens

At the Hundred Prefectures Assembly, Crown Prince Ye Jiuxiao blinded him with a single sword strike, crippled his meridians, and sent him plunging down a ten-thousand-zhang cliff.

Everyone believed Zhang Lingtian was dead.

A year later, amid the snowstorms of the twelfth lunar month, he returned to Qingshan Town with a black coffin on his back and a bamboo sword in hand.

But what awaited him was his childhood sweetheart, Wang Miaoyi, dressed as a bride and marrying his sworn enemy.

She said, "You can't expect me to give up on a better future, can you?"

Zhang Lingtian did not stop her.

He left her with just one line: Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. Never look down on a poor young man.

No one knew that a woman in red lay sleeping inside the black coffin.

She had once cleaved heaven and earth with a single sword, and she was always looking for a chance to take over his body.

A blind man, a cripple, a black coffin, and a three-year pact.

Three years later, at the Hundred Prefectures Assembly, he reforges his meridians, sheds his mortal form, and becomes a dragon, crippling Ye Jiuxiao with one sword strike.
