There are three realms in this world: the Immortal Realm above, the Mortal Realm in the middle, and the Ghost Realm below.
The most powerful cultivation art in the world is the Heartless Path. The strongest cultivator of each generation becomes the Swordbearer, shouldering the grave responsibility of guarding the Ghost Gate.
If the Ghost Gate ever opens wide, all living things will be plunged into misery.
Fu Hanzhou is the Swordbearer. One night, while observing the stars, he calculates that the Ghost Gate will open wide a hundred years from now.
There is still one slim chance of changing fate: somewhere in the mortal realm lies a forsaken star of ill omen. If he helps that star return to its rightful place, they can survive this calamity, but he will fall beneath the other's sword.
Following the stars' guidance, he finally finds the legendary star of ill omen, said to possess extraordinary talent.
The sickly child stumbles at his feet and lets out a frail, kitten-like cry.
Fu Hanzhou: ...That's it?
After taking the child in, he discovers that the child's meridians are weak, they were born with a congenital deficiency, and they won't live to see their coming-of-age ceremony. They are softhearted and unable to sever worldly ties, so they cannot enter the Heartless Path.
Will this child really become the star of ill omen who saves all living things and even kills him one day?
Fu Hanzhou wants to know, too.
* A happy ending! A happy ending! A big, happy ending! The protagonist is the child.
* This isn't a monster-fighting, level-up story. It's a warm tale focused on family affection.
* Put simply, it's the story of a cultivation boy who can't sever his worldly ties, grows into a great master, and saves the world :)
Theme: Family affection is the deepest bond.
