The Dark Moon and the Sword

[Updates at noon. If there's no update by noon, there won't be one that day. Edits at other times are usually typo fixes.] *Xue Yin's father was a once-in-a-century cultivator who ascended to the upper realm, and her mother was a renowned hero who died in battle defending the Five Continents and Four Seas. She was named a sect elder at birth and owns thousands of cave abodes and spirit-vein sites. Yet she is merely a beautiful wastrel: uneducated, spoiled, and arrogant. She inherited none of her parents' character.* Ji Chengxue began cultivating at eighteen. After five years of sword practice, he set his sights on the Heavenly Rankings. At twenty-five, he severed ties with his family, and a century later, one sword shook the Microsea. His master said he was born to cultivate the merciless path. He breaks through all demons and spirits, love and hate, greed and obsession, with his sword. His final mission in his trial in the mortal world is to repay his debt to Xue Yin.*Dark Moonlight: In his youth, before embarking on the path of immortality, Ji Chengxue was as lowly as dust. He was mocked, belittled, and laughed at, and his sincerity was trampled again and again. But the person he hated most saved his life.

Beautiful wastrel * Merciless-path sword cultivator, 1v1, HE

Reading notes:

1. The protagonists aren't good people in the traditional sense. Both have flaws, and this is a story about them growing together.

2. The writing isn't great, and the logic is a bit of a mess.

3. Updates at noon every day. If there's no update, there won't be one that day. Edits at other times are usually typo fixes.

4. There is no main plot. If there has to be one, it's probably a story about Xiao Xue wreaking havoc everywhere (*^▽^*).

5. The characters' values do not represent the author's.

6. More to be added if I think of anything.

Theme: Love leaves no room for shadows.
