Snowbound Anshan

Female-lead-focused plot / level-up story In the Xuyang Minor World, the Ji Clan, famed for the strength of its spiritual souls, is the world's ruling family. Resources in the Minor World are scarce. Only the Ji Clan has the power to escort one person to the Upper Realm, the limit of the Daoist path. The Ji Clan gave this opportunity to Liu Jing, a genius sword cultivator. Naturally, they did not do this out of a desire to nurture talent, but for their sole younger-generation child, Ji Linghuan. She was born with unusual blood. Her spiritual soul was powerful, yet she was frail and often ill. They married amid snow falling from the heavens. Though they were husband and wife, in all the years they had known each other, they had exchanged only three sentences. They felt no affection for one another, yet their souls were linked and their lives bound together. * Ji Linghuan watched him walk away from a distance. The young man's snow-white robes billowed in the wind and snow. He left without hesitation, without even glancing at the wife he had just married. Linghuan had thought that from then on, they would be separated by vast distances: he would become an immortal Sword Lord who slew his way through the Upper Realm, while she would cling to life on the vitality carried to her by his ever-strengthening spiritual soul. But no one could have expected what happened. Just three days later, the Ji Clan was destroyed, and Ji Linghuan, its only daughter, was the sole survivor! In her hour of crisis, no matter how she pleaded, the other end of their soul bond remained unresponsive. With her world in ruins, the frail yet stubborn girl set out alone on a road of no return. To avenge her kin, who had died without explanation. To uncover the truth behind her unusual blood. To cut off the traitor's head with her own hands. Theme: Independence and self-reliance
