[Revenge] [Not a power fantasy] [Ensemble cast] [Plot twists]
Bai Zhan was the daughter of the leader of one of the four great sects.
One night, a fire reduced everything to ashes.
Five years later, she and Yang Jueshuang set out on the path of revenge.
Along the way, they make a few friends and learn that the Yuepo Sword has reappeared in the martial world.
Together, they are swept into even greater danger.
"Tonight?"
"That's right. After tonight, we'll leave tomorrow night." Bai Zhan slowly raised her hand and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder.
"We'll take you with us."
Xiao Yun was overjoyed, like a fledgling bird newly arrived in the world. Bai Zhan's warmth stirred the numbness inside him ever so slightly. "If I leave here, does that mean I never have to come back? Does that mean I won't have to face people like my father anymore?"
Bai Zhan met Xiao Yun's rare, hopeful gaze. She couldn't bear to lie to him, but she couldn't bear to disappoint him either. "That's right. You won't have to fear your father anymore, because we'll never return to this hell. We'll take you as far away as we can go."
P.S. The story takes place in a fictional world with five countries.

A young heretic cultivator who is in sync with her early on but takes a different path later × a young lady who is soft on the outside and tough within, and steadfastly upholds the righteous path (Jiang Yin × Yang Jueshuang)
