Action

To avenge her family, Fu Peibai disguises herself as a man and journeys to the martial world's greatest sword sect to learn martial arts. There, she secretly develops feelings for Lu Yanran, the sect master's eldest daughter, a woman as cold and ethereal as an immortal descended from heaven.
    Little does she know, the woman who haunts her dreams is actually Seventeen, an envoy of the Demonic Sect who strikes terror across the martial world.
    When she descends the mountain for her training journey, she steps deeper into the tender trap Seventeen has laid for her.
    Inevitably, she is drawn in and falls.
    Only in the end does she realize that the one she has been devoted to from beginning to end is the same person.
    It has nothing to do with appearance, nothing to do with identity. Love begins at first sight and takes root in the passage of days together.
    In this martial world, everyone wears a disguise.
    A village girl, Fu Peibai, disguises herself as a man, determined to learn martial arts solely for revenge.
    The Demonic Sect's secret agent Seventeen assumes another's identity, all to execute a plan years in the making.
    A revered righteous scholar swordsman harbors unknown wolfish ambitions.
    The despised remnants of the Demonic Sect also have moments of tenderness and compassion.
    An unremarkable white bearded old man might be the reclusive Medical Sage of legendary renown.
    The anonymous head servant, who would guess he was once the foremost disciple of the era's Sword Sage?
    In this martial world, what is true and what is false? What is righteous and what is evil?
    Whether one becomes a god or a demon lies in a single thought.
    Innocent, upright, loyal type x Demonic Sect's cold, seductive type
    >strong>Notes:>/strong>
    1. Neither protagonist has a perfect character design; each has her own flaws and neither is purely likable.
    2. The pacing is slower in the first sixty chapters, mainly introducing the romantic storyline and various plot threads; the pace picks up after chapter sixty.
    3. I sincerely want to write this story well, but my writing skills are limited. If you do not enjoy it, simply stop reading; there is no need to inform me.
