Sword in Hand, I Rule the Rivers and Mountains

Blurb One

Plucking flowers, I question the Five Sacred Mountains; leaning on my sword, I tread across ten lands.

Since the Soul-Severing Sword Master died, who in all the world can claim the title of the greatest?

Su Li, who cannot practice martial arts, becomes the Soul-Severing Sword Master's successor.

Beneath Junshan, a world-ending calamity lies in wait.

On Lanyue Peak, only sword marks and a fragmentary text remain.

Swept along by fate, she joins hands with her companions.

Together, they seek ancient legends and search for the lost divine jade.

Only after passing through life and death, blood and tears, does she understand who she draws her sword for.

Blurb Two

Yun Qiyue is a bird trapped in a cage. Since she was very young, she has loved climbing to the top of the giant rock at the village entrance and gazing outward. Beyond the barrier of Dreamgrass lay a free world. She said:

“If someone could come and take me away from here, I would marry her.”

“Will you keep your word?” the villagers all asked with a laugh.

“I will!” A child's words were fearless, her spirit soaring to the heavens.

Her words proved prophetic. Many years later, Su Li came to her village and became the one who took her away.

At first, of course, she did not take her childhood words seriously. She only felt embarrassed remembering them, and dared not let Su Li find out.

But gradually, she began to think...

Maybe she wouldn't mind keeping her promise.

“Big Sister Yun, what exactly did you say on that giant rock at the village entrance when you were little? Why do you blush every time it's brought up? Hey, you're blushing again!”

“You really want to know that badly?”

“Of course.”

“I'll tell you someday.”

Su Li was curious by nature. The more Yun Qiyue refused to answer, the more she wanted to know. But Yun Qiyue only kept telling her, someday.

Someday, someday. How long would she have to wait?

Beloved little sister, successor to a famed sword, x loyal, mysterious big sister

A heroine who grows over time.

An imaginary setting, no need to fact-check.

Plot-focused, ensemble cast, one of the heroines appears rather late.

Updates every other day.

The prologue uses classical Chinese. The author's notes explain it in plain language, so you can also skip it and start with Chapter One. It won't make much difference.

This is plot-focused, so please don't skip chapters. orz
