Luo Zhitang was an orphan. A powerful fortune-teller once happened to pass by and read her face.
He said she was cursed to bring misfortune to those around her, with few family ties, and wouldn't live past seventeen.
Her remote, desolate little town held cultivators and spellcasters in great reverence.
She was no exception. Once she turned fifteen, she began making her own coffin.
On the day it was nearly finished, the town's notorious old drunkard, a blind man, climbed inside.
As he lay dying, he made a deal with her.
He wanted his soul to return to his hometown, and she wanted to live to a hundred.
After handing her a piece of rotten animal hide, the old blind man breathed his last.
When the spring rains were at their heaviest,
she strapped a rusty sword to her back and left the town where she'd spent more than a decade.
Following the old blind man's instructions,
she entered the martial world and paid her respects to the immortals.
Decades later, Luo Zhitang had become a Sword Immortal.
She returned to the martial world and slew the immortals.
At first, all she wanted was to survive.
Now, she wants to slay the immortals in revenge, carve a path in blood, and become an immortal herself.
