In an era of chaos, demons run rampant.
Lu Chanji lost both parents in her childhood, wandering homeless with no place to call home until the age of five.
But in the winter of her fifth year, she met the sword-obsessed youth Lu Wenshu.
With clear, solitary eyes, he told her: “Come with me to the Sword Inheriting Sect. For the rest of your life, no one will dare bully or humiliate you again.” From then on, Lu Chanji stayed by Lu Wenshu’s side.
Though lacking an Immortal Bone, Lu Chanji possessed a Root of Wisdom. In just ten years, through Lu Wenshu’s hands, she broke the century-unbreakable killing move of the Great Ocean Ten Continents’ Number One of Sword Way.
Lu Wenshu enjoyed fleeting glory, and those in the know assumed Lu Chanji would become his Cultivation Partner until her eighteenth birthday, when Lu Wenshu publicly took another woman’s hand.
At that moment, Lu Chanji was chained at the Sword Forging Cliff, about to sacrifice herself to the sword.
As her soul faced Annihilation, she finally understood: the kindness of the past thirteen years had been nothing but an illusion.
Thirteen years earlier, Lu Wenshu saved her only because he recognized her unique constitution—she was destined to be the perfect sacrificial offering for the sword.
He saved her only to kill her.
But Lu Wenshu never expected that one day, the girl he killed would stand before him again, using the blood from his heart to polish the sword in her hand.
Wei Shengming, born into a prestigious orthodox sect, was exceptionally intelligent and peerlessly elegant since childhood, renowned as the Great Ocean Ten Continents’ Number One of Sword Way. The killing move he created in his youth remained unbroken even a century later.
Eventually, a second Sword Cultivator prodigy emerged in the Great Ocean Ten Continents: Lu Wenshu.
At first, Wei Shengming paid him no mind. But when Lu Wenshu broke the unbreakable killing move, Wei Shengming finally took notice, gradually seeing him as a rival and anticipating a duel.
Until Wei Shengming discovered by chance that there was someone behind Lu Wenshu.
She was the one who broke the killing move, the true opponent he crossed blades with, the one who should be his rival.
Yet the first time Wei Shengming managed to see her was on her eighteenth birthday, as the girl’s body plummeted from the cliff, her robes slipping through his grasp.
From that day on, the Number One Sword of the Great Ocean Ten Continents never left its sheath again.
Wei Shengming developed a Heart Demon.
That Heart Demon’s name was Lu Chanji.
For years to come, she became the unspeakable and unattainable longing in his heart.
After an unknown number of years in death, when Lu Chanji awoke again, she encountered a disheveled, weathered man at the Sword Forging Cliff. The cliff keeper told her he came there every year’s end.
She asked why he came. He said he was visiting an old friend.
Lu Chanji thought him mad—the place was desolate and empty, with no old friend in sight. Only her, a resurrected “ghost.”
Later, she learned the old friend he spoke of was truly her.
“Though we meet for the first time, I’ve known you for a thousand years.”
