Who Says a Sickly Man Can't Be a Hero?

Wu Shaochen was born frail, and every doctor in the capital was certain she would not live to see ten.

Her parents devoted everything to raising her until she was fifteen. They planned to find her a dependable husband, so she would not end up a lonely ghost.

But the man she fancied was also the one her elder sister loved.

She was not going to live much longer anyway. She might as well let her sister have him.

To put an end to her foolish hopes, she clung to Jiao Wuhen, using the life debt he owed her to persuade him to take her away.

A life as fleeting as a mayfly still deserved to see all the world's sights. Otherwise, she would have wasted her time here.

And so Wu Shaochen followed Jiao Wuhen beyond the courtyard walls. She saw the yellow sands of the northern frontier, snow-covered mountains, misty rain in Jiangnan, and the flashing blades of the martial world.

She finally made peace with her short lifespan. Jiao Wuhen taught her that a brilliant moment was better than a long life spent in vain.

A fleeting bloom was worth more than all the waiting.

To take Wu Shaochen, his medicine jar of a companion, adventuring through the martial world, Jiao Wuhen specially sought out the Ghost Physician to ask for a Resurrection Pill.

Once taken, the pill would cure every illness and let her live like an ordinary person. The price was consuming the years she had left: at most, she would live another two years.

Once she took it, the countdown to her death would begin, and nothing could reverse it.

At first, Jiao Wuhen watched Wu Shaochen take the Resurrection Pill without hesitation and admired her carefree spirit.

He had no idea it would become the greatest regret of his life.

He would trade his martial arts, his life, everything he had, for Wu Shaochen to live out her days in peace, free of illness.
