[Down-and-out sword cultivator x scheming great demon]
*
Yue Ya had the greatest talent for the sword, and was second to none in defying convention.
She wielded a divine sword and bore the weight of the world.
She killed her fellow disciples and murdered her master.
She severed her heartstrings and fell into the depths of the Abyss.
Yet fate did not decree her death, and neither wind nor frost could break her.
But the divine sword that had once made her famous across the land would no longer leave its sheath for her.
The sword cultivator and her sword were no longer of one heart.
*
Fuguang was trapped in the netherworld for five hundred years, never seeing the sun. He paved his way with the bones of his loved ones, fighting his way out of a sea of blood and purgatory, only to stumble into Jinling in the mortal realm.
A girl carrying a heavy sword came to him in the morning light, entering his shadowed vision and shielding him from a storm of blood and mud.
That one glimpse of her stayed with him for years.
When they met again in spring, she had shed all her youthful innocence, but lost her soaring ambition as well, wandering alone and adrift. So he concealed his true identity, posing as an idle mortal to stay by her side, slaying demons and dispelling her doubts.
Amid his daily deception, he won a promise from Yue Ya, each word ringing clear and firm: "Xie Buwen, from now on, I'll be your eyes."
Then his lies were exposed, and her sword was at his throat, its edge threatening.
"Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Just as he had once glimpsed in their fate, he and Yue Ya were destined for an unhappy ending.
But he refused to believe in such a fate.
"Even if my body turns to ash, my soul will always be with you."
A red thread covered in golden runes wound out from his sleeve, climbed Yue Ya's wrist, and tied itself into an unbreakable knot.

Theme: My heart will not fall. I will walk toward the light.
