Synopsis

[Original title: Forgetting Each Other in the Martial World]

More than ten years after the foreign barbarians' chaos was quelled,

the wicked Demon Cult schemed to overturn the natural order,

the righteous sects were too weak to protect themselves,

and treacherous ministers and corrupt eunuchs seized power and stirred up turmoil.

With a rising force in the martial world, flying the banner of chivalry, attacked from all sides, its members unexpectedly turned their weapons on one another.

The Central Plains court and populace were engulfed in chaos, while old troubles stirred beneath the surface. As heroes gathered and the times shifted, who would decide the realm's fate?

Would he draw his sword as a hero, for the greater good?

Or take up arms as a demon, for his own desires?

Who can judge right from wrong, good from evil? It's all just a tale. Come, listen to the tale.

The story begins sixteen years ago, the year the protagonist was born...

P.S. This is a newcomer’s debut novel. I hope to tell a rich story like Jin Yong’s in the style of Gu Long. I hope all readers will witness the growth and progress of Chen Yuan Tan and Jiang Yichen together. Please be understanding of any shortcomings.

Promise: This book will never be abandoned!

How Did This Wuxia Reading List Get Approved? Mostly Dark Stories with No Romance

I never thought this list for this category would actually get approved (´ﾟдﾟ`)... Well, I'll use it to pin my own books (insert manual smirk). Well, this list is best suited to veteran readers ლ(╹◡╹ლ). If you're into hot-blooded novels, there are basically none here... (⌒_⌒;) Most of the books I recommend are dark, and a few aren't exactly dark but still take an anti-protagonist approach.

A lot of the books on this list are ones I really enjoy. My tastes are pretty eclectic, so there's a bit of everything: history, xianxia, fantasy, urban life, short stories, and more. Ahem, some were recommended by friends, but I'll always read a chapter or two before adding them. If they're too awful, they won't make the list. (No horror or supernatural stories, please.) I'll be adding some novels I've been reading lately.

I used to think reading was the happiest thing in the world. Later, I realized that it’s really only reading for pleasure that makes me happy. Reading can be a solitary activity, or something you do with a group. You can quietly read by yourself, like enjoying a meal alone, or you can make it a reading party, sharing what you’ve learned and your thoughts. On a rainy day, I love being alone with a cup of tea, reading in my study. I’ll read anything, until the end of time. Or rather, until I ru
