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.

Official Blurb:

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.

Three Realms were in chaos, invaded by demons. Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, Sha Wujing and other disciples turned evil, some died, and both the Western Buddhist world and the entire heaven and hell were invaded by the power of the foreign demons, and all the gods and Buddhas were destroyed. Only Tang Ku, who had traveled through time and space as Tang Sanzang, was left, looking at the little white dragon in the Hualong Pool, which had turned into a pile of bones, with tears in his eyes, speechless and choking! "My pair of iron fists can wipe out all the evil monsters, but my disciples, how can I save you?" Tang Ku sighed helplessly to the world!

Grandpa - It’s hard to decide what to do next

The second uncle - eating as an official

Third uncle - budget carefully

Qin Huairu——has a pretty face

He Yuzhu - fighting and cooking

Lou Xiao'e - Can't Escape the Courtyard

As soon as Li Xuewu appeared, the uncle was in vain, and even Sha Zhu wanted to change with him.

Later, Kuronuma Ya learned that he had stepped into the abyss of love since the day he saved his part-time partner.

They had placed all their beautiful wishes on the band, but they fell apart in the humid rainy season.

The band he reorganized had already twisted its bond.

That night, the air-conditioned air in the practice room was filled with the atmosphere of love and the suffocating smell of gunpowder.

"It doesn't matter if the band doesn't reorganize, what's important is, can you stay with me forever?" The sunny and energetic drummer asked with a smile, but his eyes were as fierce as a venomous snake.

"......" The three-no bassist's eyes clearly said "Why don't you try to agree to her?"

"Huh?" The hot senior raised the guitar in her hand high, full of momentum.

"I don't recommend you to agree to someone who only thinks about himself." The poisonous keyboard player had a gloomy face, brewing harsh words to attack them in his heart.

"Is there no other solution?"

The bad words broke the tense atmosphere.

When their burning gazes gather together, playing the throbbing of joy in their hearts, romantic things quietly emerge.

Gao Zheng, who joined the Serie A giants at the age of fifteen, placed all the expectations of countless Chinese fans. He was praised by the media as a talented player who can “change the future of Chinese football”, but his destiny made a big joke with him.

Life is like a football game. The opponent of destiny is already far ahead, is it lying down and admitting defeat, or is it dying with Ya?

And Gao Zheng’s reversal began with his return to Luyinchang.

The goddess he'd secretly admired for two years got a boyfriend... Jiang Xiang's relationship quietly came to an end. Just then, a top student arrived at his university and became a well-known and talented young woman among the freshmen.

The pure and innocent school beauty, Mu Zhiyu... As soon as she started school, she became the goddess that everyone at Hangzhou University longed for, but no man could ever get close to her.

Jiang Xiang always felt that this freshman campus belle... seemed to appear near him quite often...

What he didn't know was that this top student girl who had just enrolled had come for him, and that she had kept her crush hidden for six years. Six years ago, she was just a junior high school girl.

Six years have passed, and the girl has blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Jiang Xiang no longer recognizes this girl who used to be his neighbor.

But it's okay.

Their story has only just begun here.

...

"So... little girl, when did you start liking me?"

"Of course it was... a long, long time ago."
