The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.
The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.
The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.
The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the Jianghu.

Someone once asked me, "What is the jianghu?"
I thought for a moment, and what came to mind was…
A jug of unrefined wine on a weathered table,
A lone silhouette fading into the distance under the setting sun,
A nameless grave bathed in moonlight,
The smoldering incense in my grasp, its final wisps dissipating.
They then asked me, "Where is the jianghu?"
I smiled faintly and lifted my gaze beyond the window. Out there, beneath the vast heavens, countless jianghus lay.
A single soul carries his own story.
When two paths cross, a jianghu is born.

I am the conscience of the United States, a policeman with a unique painting style.
He doesn't smoke or drink, has a good lifestyle, and likes to read books, sweep the floor, and catch criminals to reform Rotom.
Many residents said that I was frivolous and not serious at all, and that I was not serious enough as a police officer should be.
There have always been a lot of letters reporting on me, but they were basically written by criminals I brought to justice.
The criminals who tortured the elves until they were covered in bruises accused me of lynching them.
The criminals who used the Afro-capped buffalo to create chaos accused me of letting the buffalo hit them.
Criminals who use superpowered moves to brainwash Pokémons report me for kidnapping all their Pokémons.
I received a lot of criticism from Miss Junsha for this, but I didn't care.

Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs and a land of outstanding people.
Batman hasn't appeared yet, and Gotham is still dominated by the mafia.
Supervillains are still gestating in the darkness of Gotham.
Will appear at any time.
A trainee police officer from the Arkham Division was standing on the stage in Gotham, shouting: "Be fearless in life and death, stop the bad guys."
A broken watch with a broken icon.
Tian Xiaoban looked at the level 20 technology crystal of [Ben10 Universe] on his left hand and felt very confused.
But when he transformed...
"Oh my god, how can I transform into Digimon and Pokémon? Uh, ordinary animals too?
Damn, what kind of weird DNA did this broken watch collect?!"
His transformation is like a lottery. Whether he can get a golden legend depends on luck.
A gloomy mist shrouds the land.
Amid the ruins of the city, traces of humanity’s past have yet to fade from this forsaken ground.
The glory is gone, and now humans are hiding like rats beneath the flicker of flames. The black sun hanging high above is a symbol that this place has changed hands—this is their paradise.
Beneath the surging depths of the sea, something is rising. In the void, heavy whispers echo, while strange, veiled silhouettes observe in silence.
A glimpse of malevolent compound eyes flashes from beneath the bed, while an evil presence lingers in the otherworld. Tempting whispers surround the ears, as terrifying entities wander through the ruins.
Evil thrives and grows, while humanity’s spirit dims and loses its light.
Lu Li holds salvation tightly and walks toward them with unwavering steps.
