As the only girl in Kyushu to become a grandmaster a thousand years ago, Li Jinhuan has only two things to do after breaking free of her seal.
1. Kill all those self-righteous hypocrites.
2. Uncover the distorted history and let everyone know the truth.
But times have changed. To regain her strength, she has no choice but to pretend to be a clueless novice and team up with three juniors to retrieve her sword.
But... the buried truth about the two peoples, humans and merfolk; the human prodigy who gave his life to protect them; the fervor of breaking free from 'faith'; and the timely suppression of all opposition with absolute strength.
Li Jinhuan has to admit that she learned a lot from this competition, even if it was exactly what the Heavenly Dao wanted her to go through.
And those three teammates...
Jin Yue, the seemingly composed team captain, is being used as a vessel to resurrect the beloved of a powerful Immortal Venerable.
Ming Jing, upright and brave, is hounded by the so-called benefactor who shattered her Dao Heart.
Zhong Zuiyu, a boy with a pure heart, is being raised as a blood bank.
Li Jinhuan: …
Li Jinhuan used to be too proud to have many friends. But once she considered someone a friend, she would never stand by and do nothing.
The so-called Immortal Venerable is nothing but a fence-sitter clinging to life, convinced he can toy with two women as he pleases.
The so-called benefactor is just a schemer.
And the one raising a blood bank is so foolish he is doing someone else's work for them.
One sword strike destroys a dantian, one move turns defeat into victory, one kill reveals the truth.
Turning around, Li Jinhuan is ready to cut loose.
But then...? My enemy killed my enemy?
Those who gather firewood for others must not be left to freeze to death in the snow.
Those who spread the Dao throughout Kyushu must not be left disgraced and falsely accused of a crime they did not commit.
Second version
During the Daochang era, Chen Junzhuo had yet to become the revered Grandmaster Tianheng.
But this was the most precious time of his life.
The girl who shone like the sun, the girl he had fallen for at first sight and followed for so long, had yet to become a phantom beneath the icy abyss, visible but beyond his reach.
Chen Junzhuo understood Li Jinhuan too well. That was why he knew how much she hated her, even more than the executioner who had cruelly brought down an entire noble clan.
The one thing Li Jinhuan could never tolerate was betrayal. Nor would she let her enemies live this long, no matter the cost.
But the one thing Chen Junzhuo could never tolerate was losing Li Jinhuan.
He feared seeing hatred eclipse love, and feared even more that she might never wake up.
He was plotting to let her wake when it was safest. But when a familiar sword intent swept over him, when the Azure-Eyed Cloud Tiger rampaged and its bell rang out, when Wujiang trembled, he saw the girl kneeling atop a mountain, facing ten thousand enemies with her sword.
1. The male lead appears late, and there is little romance. This is not a sweet romance, but a plot-driven story.
2. If you are interested in stories where the male lead appears early and there is more romance, feel free to bookmark the author's upcoming works. The author writes quickly, and unless something unexpected happens, updates daily.
Theme: No obstacle is impossible to overcome
Although no one is reading it, I will not give up. In fact, I have the idea of making a big change. I will write [Cat Head] after I finish writing what I am doing.
