A Sword Embracing the Tang Blossom

Ji Tang was the pride of the Ji family of Peizhou.

She obtained the Morning Dew Sword at thirteen, cultivated a sword spirit at fifteen, and at sixteen, during the Gathering of Heroes of the Nine Provinces, she defeated a hundred opponents in a melee with nothing but herself and her sword, taking first place.

From then on, she became famous throughout the Nine Provinces.

But then disaster struck, and the entire Ji family was wiped out.

That night, rain fell on Mount Qingsang. The girl held her sword and fought through the night in the rain, until her spiritual root was damaged and she collapsed from exhaustion.

When she awoke, the sky was gray and bleak, and she was the only survivor on all of Mount Qingsang.

-

The Ji family of Peizhou had been wiped out by demonic cultivators, and everyone in the Nine Provinces lived in fear.

No one cared whether the genius girl who had once dazzled everyone at the Gathering of Heroes had survived.

Nor did anyone care that countless hunters and wanted notices awaited her.

No matter where she went, someone wanted her dead.

At the end of her rope, to stay alive, Ji Tang used the only dull knife she had to cut her face, slash by slash, destroying her features.

From that day on, Ji Tang no longer existed.

There was only Li Shangmu, with a damaged spiritual root, a terrifying face, and no one who cared about her.

-

Wen Chengji is the senior disciple of the Bright Sword Sect. Born to the admiration of all, he is considered the obvious choice to succeed the Everbright Sword Master. His future is laid out before him.

How boring.

Until one day, he discovered a junior sister in the outer sect.

The young girl had terrible talent and a damaged spiritual root. She couldn't even hold an ordinary iron sword steady, yet day after day, she stubbornly practiced her sword at dusk.

Interesting.

He wanted to see what kind of flower this little girl could make bloom in the face of a fate already set in stone.

#One sword embraces Tang, a tree grows from Tang#

☆

1) A taciturn junior sister × a bored senior brother

2) Not a wish-fulfillment story. The female lead has a hard time at first, but she'll grow stronger later.

3) Her face will recover!

4) More to come.

Reason for entering the coming-of-age writing contest: The female lead was once the pride of the heavens, but after her family was slaughtered and her spiritual root shattered, she had to start over. She endures hardship after hardship, growing stronger along the way.

Wandering the Plains

-

Pingchuan served as the head of the Cangji Sect for her entire life.

From her youth to her weathered old age, she devoted herself heart and soul to the sect, laboring and worrying for everyone. She was diligent and responsible, with nothing to fault.

Until she died.

On an ordinary afternoon in July, she gazed at the sunlight falling halfway through the window, feeling perfectly calm.

How wonderful, she thought.

At last, it was over.

-

Pingchuan was reborn.

She was born as the daughter of an ordinary farming family.

No magic, no cultivation, no responsibilities or burdens from a sect, and no endless piles of paperwork or troubles to deal with.

All she had to do was live happily, lead the big yellow ox, and carry a basket to the hills to dig up herbs to sell at the market.

When the sun set and she returned home, her kind, honest parents, the barking Erhuang, and a table of hot, delicious food would be waiting for her.

How wonderful, Pingchuan thought.

She could spend the rest of her life in such a simple, peaceful way, just an ordinary person.

Until one day, she came across an unconscious young man on the mountain where she was digging for herbs. He had been gravely wounded, his body covered in traces of magic and spiritual power, and blood gushed from beneath his black brocade robe.

Curious, Pingchuan crouched down and brushed aside the hair covering his face to get a look.

Oh, phoenix eyes, willow-leaf brows, and thin lips that seemed unfeeling.

He looked a lot like the young disciple she had personally issued a kill order for years ago, after he turned to demonic cultivation.

-

You Wufang was the Cangji Sect's most unruly disciple.

He beat up his fellow disciples, broke into forbidden grounds, and secretly practiced demonic cultivation, until his own master personally expelled him from the sect.

He hated the Cangji Sect, hated the countless days and nights in the Discipline Hall, and hated his lofty sect leader of a master.

He hated those light, indifferent words of hers, spoken in her usual unruffled tone: "Get out."

He resolved to hate her for the rest of his life.

Until that day.

He heard people say that You Pingchuan had died.
