Everyone in the martial arts world is saying the Sun Moon Cult is all-powerful—what utter nonsense! If it were truly all-powerful, the former leader wouldn't have taken the opportunity to pass the leadership to me! That old bastard just left a handover letter and ran away! I know nothing but fighting; I'm not going to be the leader of this demonic cult! No way, I won't take this blame. I'm going to enjoy my retirement right now…
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.
After his sudden death, he became the manager of 9527, the abandoned land of the garbage dump of the universe.
A ruined city connecting all the heavens and worlds.

【Exile + Space + Poison & Medicine + Strong Female Lead + Revenge + Nation-Building】
Ye Chutang, a powerhouse from the 23rd-century apocalypse, transmigrated into the body of the disgraced eldest daughter of a high-ranking minister’s family, who had been abandoned in the countryside for fifteen years.
Starting off with a bang—she’s drugged by a scheming maid and offered to the maid’s son as a plaything?
One kick to castrate him, two kicks to wipe out his whole family!
With no antidote for the beastly drug, she plunges into an icy river to cool off—only to crash straight into the arms of a breathtakingly handsome man.
"Hey, handsome, let’s sleep together—I promise you won’t regret it!"
She wakes up to find the beauty gone and her scumbag father at her doorstep.
What? He wants her to replace her stepsister and marry a sadistic old eunuch as his "companion"?
She strips the stepsister naked, tosses her onto the eunuch’s bed, and leads a crowd to witness the scandal!
When her pregnancy is discovered, her stepmother tries to drown her in a pig cage?
No problem—she tracks down the father of her unborn child and forces him into marriage, parading down the aisle with a grand procession as the wife of the legendary War God Prince!
On their wedding night, the emperor sends an edict of exile and confiscation as a "gift"?
No fear!
With her spatial supernatural ability and medical skills, the physician-queen thrives anywhere.
She empties the prince’s manor! Loots the imperial palace! Cleans out the minister’s estate! And raids all her enemies’ treasuries!
While others suffer hunger and cold during exile, Ye Chutang lives lavishly, feasting and flourishing.
Along the way, she cures plagues, averts disasters, eliminates threats, and stockpiles resources.
She even gives birth to twins and is pampered beyond belief by her doting husband.
Arriving at the desolate northwestern border, Ye Chutang sees the suffering of the people.
"Time to get rich—starting with nation-building!"
She constructs city walls, digs wells, builds greenhouses, paves roads, starts farms, opens schools, plants crops…
When the barren wasteland turns into a land of abundance, the emperor panics and sends an execution decree.
Qi Yanzhou tears the edict to shreds, smirking. "Darling, I read the stars last night—our son has the aura of an emperor."
Ye Chutang waves her hand. "Then what are we waiting for? Let’s march back to the capital and rebel!"
Live a second life and get the Great Martial Arts System, which contains all the martial arts in the previous life's martial arts world!
Xiao Li's flying dagger never misses its target;

Nine Yin and Nine Yang, a Taoist and Buddhist secret text;
…
In this martial arts world where people cherish their own things and even third-rate martial arts are strictly prohibited from being passed on to outsiders, Shi Xiaole goes his own way, frequently displays his unique skills, sings wildly all the way, and finally becomes known as the God of Martial Arts!
