How to Handle a Sword Spirit's Breakup Stress

Yan Cigu transmigrates into a book, landing in an abandoned, unfinished cultivation novel.

The bad news: he's a once-brilliant nobody who has just lost all his cultivation.

The worse news: the plot demands that he hand his life-bound sword to the original novel's chosen-one junior brother. Otherwise, he will be killed by force and their bond will be severed.

Yan Cigu glances at the life-bound sword beside him, and his anxious heart slowly settles.

The sword is quick to anger, often gives him the cold shoulder, and regularly says, "How could someone like you take over my master's body?"

Great. At this rate, it won't be long before the sword spirit runs off to find his chosen-one junior brother.

Yan Cigu waits a month, but nothing happens. Finally, one day, he can't help asking, "About that bond-breaking thing we talked about last time, have you made up your mind?"

The sword spirit's expression turns cold. "Who said I'd agreed to break our bond?"

Yan Cigu: "?"

Later, Yan Cigu is killed by the plot, and the bond vanishes with his death.

When he opens his eyes again, sixty years have passed, and the original novel's story is about to end.

With all his gear gone, Yan Cigu buys a shoddy sword for protection and sets off to reunite with his sect.

But before he even reaches the foot of the mountain, a handsome young man corners him.

The man lowers his gaze to the shoddy sword at Yan Cigu's waist, his voice almost plaintive. "How can you use a sword other than me?"

Yan Cigu asks, confused, "But didn't we already break our bond?"

The other man hands him a snow-white sword, then leans down and bites his lips.

"Master, form a bond with me."
