How does a sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside girl save a tragic beauty? The negatives make a positive; two dark souls make a bright one.
When Bai Tang, the princess of Chu, was born, a divination declared that she would one day be the greatest under heaven. But when she came of age, her enemy state conquered Chu, and before she had a chance to grow up, she took her own life for her country.
When she awoke again, Bai Tang had become the Sword Pavilion young master's life-bound sword.
The young master was named Luo Qing. He was exceptionally talented, yet unable to resonate with a sword.
Bai Tang yawned and said regretfully, "That's rough."
Luo Qing lowered his eyes and bent to tie a silver bell tassel to her sword.
"I never wanted to become a sword cultivator."
Bai Tang paused. "Then what do you want to be?"
He flicked the silver bell with a fingertip, and it rang out clearly.
He withdrew his hand as casually as if it were nothing.
His thin lips curved ever so slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Your scabbard."
[A straightforward sword spirit who lies flat from time to time x an elegant, dark-minded young master of the Sword Pavilion]
The finest scabbard
will never let its sword be damaged.
