Fated Bonds

A catastrophe ten years ago robbed him of his martial arts, sealed his meridians, and made it difficult to improve his internal strength. Yet he has no regrets.

Thanks to his exceptional talent and hard work, he defended his title at the Martial Arts Tournament three times, sweeping aside his entire generation, until last year...

His first and only defeat forced his childhood sweetheart to accept a marriage contract with his rival. After agonizing over it, he finally understood what he wanted.

Without supreme martial arts, he could never gain supreme power. Without power, he could never decide the future of himself and the one he loved.

He would break through the restrictions, sacrifice his feelings, and remove every obstacle.

But as he traveled farther and climbed higher along the road to power, reaching its very peak, he discovered that the mountaintop was still shrouded in mist, with no clear path ahead.

And this time, there was no one left to guide him.

Seven years in love, three years together. In the end, a beautiful beginning turned to bitter fruit, and what was done could not be undone.
