Ying Yan is the undisputed Sword Sovereign of the cultivation world. Like his sword, he is cold as frost and snow.
Ever since Ying Yan made a name for himself, few dared even look him in the eye, let alone approach him. But on one demon-hunting mission in the city, he ran into a brash young sword cultivator who kept showing up in front of him. Ying Yan would be generous if he answered one out of every ten things the young man said, and his rejection could hardly be clearer. Still, the young sword cultivator never gave up. No matter how many times he fell, he would get back up and make his way to Ying Yan once more.
When Ying Yan completed his mission and left for the front lines to fight the demons, the young sword cultivator followed him.
After Ying Yan told him, "You're not suited to swordsmanship," the young man abandoned his sword and took up medicine instead. With hard work, he achieved some success, accompanying Ying Yan through wind and rain as they faced life and death together.
Tang Shixian was born into a family of scholars and had a reserved nature. Leaving his hometown for Ying Yan and giving up swordsmanship to study medicine had taken all his courage. He never dared to hope for too much. He was even afraid that saying the word "love" would only trouble Ying Yan.
But everyone knew Tang Shixian had come for Ying Yan.
First year.
Subordinate: "Sword Sovereign, Doctor Tang is here."
Ying Yan ignored him.
Third year.
Subordinate: "Sword Sovereign, Doctor Tang is here."
Ying Yan didn't even look up. "Mm."
Fifth year.
Subordinate: "Sword Sovereign, Doctor Tang is here."
Ying Yan frowned. "Keep him safe... No, bring him here."
Seventh year.
Subordinate: "Sword Sovereign, someone's selling stories about you and Doctor Tang on the street. Should we arrest them or exile them?"
Ying Yan glanced toward the inner room. "Buy one copy of each."
