Beautiful, unruly young swordsman bottom x aloof, masked demon lord top
A sickly young swordsman who plays the pig to eat the tiger, and a mysterious demon lord with a thousand faces.
1v1, devoted to each other, happy ending, serious story.
Luo Qingya has been afflicted with the strange poison of the Duren Pill since childhood. When he was young, his family was slaughtered, and he was abducted by the heretical path and turned into a living medicine vessel.
After escaping at last, he ended up on a desolate snowy plain, where he grew up among a foreign tribe.
At sixteen, the poison had already reached his heart, and he had little time left. To find a chance at survival, he had no choice but to cross mountains and seas and enter the martial world.
It is the third year of Xingping in the Great Sheng dynasty, more than 130 years after the end of the turbulent Five Dynasties era.
The realm has enjoyed peace for a long time, but beneath its prosperity, undercurrents run deep.
Political factions at court are locked in endless power struggles, and some officials secretly collude with foreign powers to profit from smuggling.
Strange cases abound in the martial world, and the mysterious demon lord known as the Faceless Ghost has appeared out of nowhere, killing dozens of renowned experts in a single year.
Luo Qingya has never had much luck. His search for a healer fails, and instead he stumbles headlong into this storm.
Fortunately, though he may be a sickly invalid, he does know martial arts.
A sword in his hand, wine in his cup.
If the young swordsman has one day to live, he'll make that day count.
He speaks up against injustice and gives his whole heart to kindred spirits.
As for meeting a demon lord... first, let's see his face.
He has met this big brother Faceless Ghost before.
That year, blood stained the bones and wildfires swept the plains. The demon lord saved him from certain death, and one fleeting glimpse was enough to last a lifetime.
Now that his days are numbered and he has no control over his fate, what a blessing to meet again at the ends of the earth!
People say that good and evil can never coexist.
Luo Qingya would rather ask: who gets to decide what is good or evil?
Let others decide his reputation; he will make his own choices.
The young swordsman insists on walking hand in hand with the demon lord.
Together, they will uncover half a dynasty's worth of grudges and a century-old conspiracy, all from one little Duren Pill.
