Lu Wei is the lowest-ranking menial disciple in the outer sect of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. He treasures a rusty, broken sword and is obsessed with cultivating swordsmanship, despite having talent so awful it beggars belief. Everyone calls him Fool Lu.
He practices the sword neither for fame and fortune nor to attain immortality. First, it is instinct. Second, he wants to repay a debt of gratitude.
The young sect master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Qiu Wanbo, is a swordsmanship prodigy rarely seen in a century. He once saved Lu Wei’s life.
To repay the foremost sword cultivator of the younger generation, Lu Wei must become stronger than him.
After surviving countless brushes with death in a secret realm, Lu Wei spends ten years cultivating in seclusion and finally reaches the pinnacle of swordsmanship. But when he emerges, he is told that the benefactor he has thought of day and night fell to the demonic path long ago and was later killed in a siege by the righteous sects.
Lu Wei is furious.
Later, Lu Wei jumps into the most dangerous abyss to gather medicine for his benefactor’s injuries, trades his eyes to obtain a renowned physician who can rebuild his meridians, and risks life and limb to avenge him and clear his name...
Qiu Wanbo chokes up. “Was all this really necessary? You repaid that small favor long ago.”
“No,” Lu Wei says. “I’m going to spend my whole life repaying you.”
Notes and content warnings:
1. The story focuses on cultivation and BL, with Lu Wei as the top. A deeply devoted, obliviously overpowered top x a tragic, beautiful, strong bottom who is ruthless to outsiders but obedient with his top.
2. The top dotes on and heals his wife in the beginning; later, they dote on each other.
