Caught in the Dust

Fanfei and his childhood friend Qing Yuan were bound by a destined worldly bond, meant to share the rest of their lives. But fate had other plans. He had hoped to leave the world behind and live in seclusion, yet he could not escape the calamity fate had in store.

Once a brave, naive young man, he awoke one night with his black hair turned white. Transformed into Hong Yuan, he took up a chilling blade and embarked on the demonic path, seeking revenge and taking lives even as he sank deeper into the shackles of worldly ties.

The righteous and demonic walk different paths; love and hate are hard to sever, and obsession clings like dust.

When the blade falls, the bond scatters, and the heart bound to the world is left with nothing.

Hong Yuan struggles against the whirlpool of fate, swinging his blade to sever the ties that bound half his life. He questions the world and himself, yet still cannot understand...

Can the shackles of fate truly be severed completely with a single chilling blade?

And what was cut away: was it really the bond that tied him to the world?
