The junior sister destined to prove the Dao x the senior brother destined to be killed as proof of the Dao
-She points her sword at the gods, though she is only mortal.
Han Muyan's whole life was fated.
Fated to be named Muyan, fated to be confined within the mountain sect to cultivate, fated to follow the Dao of All Beings, and fated to personally kill her senior brother, whom she had never met, when she turned eighteen.
Han Muyan didn't want to harm an innocent person, nor did she want her entire life to be controlled.
So on her seventeenth birthday, she slipped down the mountain alone.
Liu Qingqi's whole life was fated, too.
Fated to be named Qingqi, fated to be confined in seclusion at Lanshan for years, fated to follow the Dao of Ruthlessness, and fated to be personally killed by his junior sister, whom he had never met, when he turned twenty.
Liu Qingqi was willing to die, but he also wanted to see the splendor of the human world.
So one ordinary day, he obtained his master's permission and descended the mountain with his sword.
By a twist of fate, they entered the same city.
But Han Muyan arrived first, and Liu Qingqi came later. Neither saw the other.
They even stayed at the same inn.
But on the day Liu Qingqi checked in, Han Muyan left, and they missed each other again.
It was only when they answered a request for help from the same household and went to capture a demon
that they finally met.

The senior brother is a modest gentleman, warm as jade and quite talkative.
The junior sister is chivalrous, quirky, and very serious.
They soon fall for each other. Under the moonlight, they share their feelings and make a pact: before that fateful day arrives, they will join hands in a youthful adventure and make their names known throughout the world.
A year later, watched by thousands, Han Muyan shares a tearful smile with Liu Qingqi before killing him with her own hands.
She descends the mountain alone once more, only to discover that they were both puppets in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.
Han Muyan refuses to accept it. She never did.
So she points her sword at the gods, though she is only mortal.
Happy ending.
1. I may still revise the blurb, but the central hook is the title and one-line premise, and those won't change. The character concepts are also set and won't change.
