The world is dead and rusty. This is a story that takes place in the "apocalypse" when martial arts is in decline and the desire for power is rampant. There are no swordsmen who enjoy grudges, only mortals who live in elegance. Lies and truth, cowards and heroes, a tragedy, a dream.
Tiangongwu was destroyed overnight, and the two children struggled to survive.
A life is exchanged for a life, the broken picture and the blood feud are on A Chou's shoulders. She walked alone with a knife on her back, stepping through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, killing enemies in the middle of the river, but she only got the loneliness of the long journey.
The fog on the riverside is heavy, and Yun Gu appears, revealing the dust of Tiangongwu's past and the cowardice and perseverance of Master Wentian. Carrying the secret of "Tiangong", A Chou stepped into the prosperous but undercurrent capital city to find Yun Gu's son, the sickly scholar Shen Yan.
The sword is a killing knife, and the work is a life-killing work.
When rust covers the blade, and when the mechanism consumes people's hearts, A Chou just wants to live and see the justice of this world for his master.
But in this world, life is harder than death.
Purpose: Survival in adversity, craftsmanship, morality and revenge and redemption
