The Guanfeng Pavilion Series: A Broken Bond

Years apart, and everywhere is the sorrow of splendor. The ephemeral flower has faded away. Bloodshed and slaughter have washed away its last trace of strange beauty, and the martial arts legend that might have come to pass has run aground amid the ravages of time. Promises made long ago have long since been buried beneath the dust, and the past they shared has been swallowed by yellow sands. The dreams they once chased were perhaps no more than a drop in the ocean. Wave after wave has already swept them away in the endless tide of worldly life. Looking back, the oath someone still clung to has long since followed something into exile in a distant land. Beautiful love fell with the ancient capital. Splendor and desolation blur together, and now all that remains is to hold on in vain to boundless regret, savoring the mist of the past as it grows hazy in the heart, then clear again, again and again. The wounds of the heartbroken stand out starkly in the dark, and all one can do is stare, no longer knowing what words could offer comfort. The sweetness of a previous life has brought only estrangement in this one: they meet, yet do not know each other! With a wave of the hand, the past is erased, and an old wish fulfilled... The once-celebrated legend now leaves only a broken bond... One is a prospective pavilion master who enters the martial world alone; one is a rich young woman who has run away from home; one is a master with a melancholy gaze and an unknown identity; and one is a runaway bride determined to escape the martial world. Several tangled romances and schemes intertwine amid old grudges, love, and hate... Theme:
