    That winter, the martial world died. The Heavenly Realm slaughtered the entire martial arts world, staining mountains and rivers with blood. Beauty is synonymous with death—Zhao Qinghe, the most beautiful princess in the world, the most beautiful woman under heaven. When she smiled, the world paled in comparison; when she drew her sword, even immortals bowed. Her Flowing Cloud Soft Sword was invincible in three moves. Beside her were two even more dangerous women: Luo Qinghan, "Ink Feather Godslayer"; and Wen Wanqing, "Gentle Palm Suppressing Heaven." The three were unassuming, like refined ladies, like delicate flowers. Their two adorable pets were even more extraordinary: the Myriad Demonic Ice Python "Frost Profound," and the ancient divine beast "Soul-Devouring Golden Eyes" Ink Flame. The winter snow had not yet stopped, but the killing had already begun. The sharpest sword in the world was wrapped in the sweetest sugar.
