A 500-word synopsis of "Northern Xinjiang Wuxiang"
During the Kaiyuan period, Lin Shuyue, a disciple of Qixiufang, went north to Yilichuan to search for his missing senior brother Xie Changfeng. There are rumors in the world that the newly rising disciples of "Wuxianlou" have defeated the masters of seven major sects in a row at the Northern Xinjiang Star Observation Deck. Their first disciple has a swordsmanship like the wind and is suspected to be Xie Changfeng.
When Lin Shuyue arrived, she saw the mysterious swordsman of Wuxianglou defeating his uncle with seven sword skills. The mask fell off, and it turned out to be Xie Changfeng. When questioned by his junior sister, he only said: "I am not betraying the sect, but I want to save the sect."
Following him into the hidden valley of Wuxiang Tower, the owner of the building, Xuan Jizi, revealed a centuries-old secret: All martial arts schools in the martial arts world have fatal flaws, which have caused countless warriors to go crazy. The purpose of the secluded research in Wuxiang Tower is to correct these flaws. They challenge various factions precisely to expose hidden dangers in the most direct way.
"Your master's cough is exactly the disadvantage of the third movement of the 'Nishang Yuyi' internal energy." Xuanjizi reminded Lin Shuyue with a word. Xie Changfeng's eyes were firm: "I put on a mask to challenge the world in order to take off the heaviest mask in the martial arts world for thousands of years - the sectarian view."
Ba Dao Villa will be the last battle. The tenth form of his unique skill "Yue Zhan Jue" has shocking backlash. The young master Liu Jingtao has a strong temperament, and head-on confrontation may lead to tragedy. Lin Shuyue took the initiative to ask for help and persuaded Liu Jingtao as an old friend. When Liu Jingtao looked at the relationship between his father's old injuries and his martial arts flaws in the jade slip, he finally sighed and gave up.
One month later, the heads of various factions gathered in Yili River. There is no longer a martial arts competition on the observatory, but a discussion on how to correct martial arts. Xie Changfeng was appointed as the new building owner. Lin Shuyue stood beside him and said softly: "Senior brother, I will stay. Qixiu's sword dance is beautiful, but the world needs a greater Tao."
The wind in northern Xinjiang blows through the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the wind chimes of Wuxiang Tower ring softly, as if singing the beginning of a new era - the true meaning of martial arts is no longer exclusive, but shared; the rivers and lakes are so big that they can finally accommodate the benevolence that transcends the door.
Concept: Through the setting of "Wuxianlou", the story sublimates the conflict from a simple confrontation between good and evil to a conflict between "the sense of security of the old order" and "the sense of responsibility of the new concept". The protagonist's "betrayal" is essentially a deeper loyalty to the essence of martial arts - the true inheritance is not to stick to the secrets, but to allow the martial arts to continue healthily and without hindrance.
What ultimately points to is a universal value: the ultimate meaning of any knowledge or skill should transcend factions and selfish interests and return to the care and promotion of life itself. This is both a sublimation of martial arts and a modern metaphor for all closed systems.

The protagonist of Lily is a man, so the author needs to get treatment for his gender cognitive disorder!
Hmm... Touken Ranbu is a Japanese game IP. It doesn't mean the light and shadow of swords in martial arts.
