Summary
Orphaned by a flood and left with a ruined leg, Zhao Siqi once dreamed of becoming a great hero. Then he sees Luo Ziqi’s sword and understands that the life he can never have may still be lived by someone else. Zhao gives up the martial path and devotes himself to the affairs of Mount Qingcheng, handling accounts, rooting out traitors, and quietly building the legend that will make Luo Ziqi the greatest under heaven. Years pass, and Zhao’s own name disappears beneath the title of Deputy Sect Leader. But when a conspiracy threatens to brand Luo a demon, Zhao must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to protect the light he has always watched from the shadows.
