[Wuxia Crossover] Forging a Sword to Become a Prisoner

"On the fifteenth of next month, an auspicious day, I shall borrow Your Majesty's head."

This note was pinned to the current emperor's bed with a short blade.

The blade's cold gleam was less than three inches from the emperor's neck.

When the Son of Heaven flies into a rage, a million corpses may fall. The imperial guards surrounded the entire palace like an iron barrel. Every renowned expert in the land was placed on the imperial wanted list. The secret police rode out in every direction. Whether you were a wandering swordsman or a gang leader, a reclusive master or the head of a martial sect, you were either seized and thrown into the imperial prison or killed in a military sweep.

For a time, the entire martial world was gripped by panic.

The culprit behind it all was waiting eagerly in Sunset Gorge, hoping the one he loved would come and kill him.

He knew he would come.

He had resolved to lay down his life beneath his beloved's feet, becoming a stepping stone on his path to becoming the Sword God. He regarded this as the sole glory of his life.

For this, he was willing to reverse a hundred years of time.

When that sword finally pierced his heart, delight blazed in his eyes, and his love grew wildly.

[Content warnings]

The protagonist is the pursuer. The pairing is with Master Ximen.

The male lead is dark, twisted, and obsessive, with no morals. He will face retribution.

The plot is utterly unhinged and includes [NTR] content. If you're not into chaotic, anything-goes fun, run for the hills.

(Note: NTR usually describes a protagonist's spouse, partner, or something important being taken by someone else. In this story, it specifically refers to the protagonist's love interest.)

Coming soon: [Wuxia Crossover] The Player Says Nothing and Just Keeps Practicing Dual Cultivation

A player gets a newly released wuxia mobile game. It's said to offer a high degree of freedom. Not only does it max out your starting martial arts stats, letting players enjoy the thrill of being an unstoppable force in the game world, but it also has a great storyline. Best of all, you can practice dual cultivation with NPCs without any restrictions! Affection levels and location don't matter. You can do it whenever you want.

Player: Is this even a legitimate game?

Who cares? I'll try it first.

He immediately creates a male character, spends two hours customizing his face, and charges into the test server.

As soon as he logs in, he gets it.

This NPC's name is so nice! Let's hook up.

This NPC's portrait is so pretty! Let's hook up.

Holy crap, this NPC has a great name and a gorgeous portrait too. Let's hook up, hook up, hook up!

The player really is having a great time. There's just one thing: shouldn't dual cultivation raise affection? Why is this NPC trying to kill me?

Wait, his affection is at 90%, and I even unlocked the best-friend achievement. Isn't dual cultivation the natural next step? Why is he trying to kill me too?

Is there no justice in the world?

In Bat Cave, the player gets a mission to rescue all the female NPCs inside and cure their eyes.

He diligently works through the dungeon. The dungeon boss is terrifyingly strong, but his portrait shows a refined young gentleman, and the player is completely smitten.

[Inside Bat Cave, with swords drawn and tension high, the Bat Prince furrows his brow. Before he can use his Star-Chasing-the-Moon technique, someone inexplicably grabs his wrist. The person rips his clothes off and pins him to the ground, right in front of a crowd of subordinates, then fiercely...]

Bat Prince: !!!

Atop the Forbidden City, the player's mission is to expose the Lord of White Cloud City's plot to usurp the throne and kill him if necessary.

Player: But he's my most beloved beauty! I'm not doing this mission. I can't stand by and watch him die! I have to save him!!!

But the imperial city is filled with armed guards. Even the player, with his peerless martial arts, would find it almost impossible to escape the encirclement with his beloved beauty.

Luckily, they can still practice dual cultivation. It grants invincibility frames!

[The cold moon shines on the palace hall, as if a melancholy snowfall has begun.

The sword in the Lord of White Cloud City's hand reflects a dazzling cold light.

He has resolved to die here, at the hands of the opponent he respects most.

But that person appears again.

The instant he appears, the Lord of White Cloud City doesn't hesitate for a moment. He turns his sword around and cuts his own throat, afraid he might not die fast enough.

He can't let that person humiliate him again.]

Player: No! My beauty!!!

Wait, the person next to him is pretty too!

Premise: Love means sacrifice and giving without expecting anything in return.
