Goddess of the Blade

The first time Zhou Jiayu met Xu Sinan, she was handing out flyers for male enhancement drugs on the street, wearing a dusty blue T-shirt and sporting a fair, radiant face. The second time Zhou Jiayu met Xu Sinan, she was tutoring his younger brother in physics. Fatigue she could not conceal showed in her eyes, and her pen left neat, decisive characters on the plain paper, as if she were using a steel knife to sever an enemy's head. The third time Zhou Jiayu met Xu Sinan, it was pouring rain. She stood at the corner of an alley, smoking as she made a phone call. The person on the other end said they would cut off her hand if she didn't pay back the money within three days. He stepped into the dark, filthy alley and took hold of the hand gripping the knife. "How much do you need? I'll give it to you." * Ten years ago, a rare half-month downpour struck Yujing City. That rain destroyed a building, and the first half of Xu Sinan's life. Her timid, mild-mannered father died in prison. Her shrewd, capable mother could never speak again. All her relatives and friends pushed her into an endless abyss. Ten years later, she climbed out of the abyss alone. Blood-red flowers bloomed beneath her feet. * Not a romance or revenge story. A gloomy, obsessive beauty of a female lead X a refined, gentlemanly male lead with a hidden dark side. Theme: Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished.
