The three things most talked about lately in the Yun Cang Kingdom are Yan He, former first disciple of the Thousand Sects' previous leader, taking over as sect leader; Regent King Yun Yan returning power to the young emperor and submitting his resignation; and Feng Lin, the Blood Orchid Pavilion's demonic master, dying in a woman's arms.
The protagonist, Feng Lin, looks utterly miserable. Well, dying beneath the peonies is a fine way to leave this world. The problem is, he was crushed to death, and after dying he has to be saddled with such a ridiculous reputation. He lived a chaste life, never even holding a young lady's hand. Oh, well. His infamy is already so great it could fill a book, so one more stain hardly matters.
