Autumn of 1840.

The world is like a whale floating up, igniting a fire in the eyes of the boy.

A letter from more than ten miles away, a traveler from a foreign land, and several wonderful and fantastic stories.

Ritualists, strange objects, alien species, invisible techniques;

Cursed secret texts, pointy-eared cats and dragons, little people under the floor, castles walking in dreams;

Science and mystery, fantasy and reality.

The boy tapped his cane, staggered with the times, and his black hair flew and melted in the laughter behind him:

"Those who are against us are bad guys!"

The monsters said.

Everyone said that the wife of the Rong family in the famous capital city was from the countryside, she did not know big characters, was vulgar and liked to bully others.

Mu Changying sneered coldly.

Don’t know big characters?

A well-known professor is her apprentice.

vulgar?

Her etiquette and social sway is the first thousand dollars and five streets.

As for bullying, that’s true.

Mrs. Rong was so arrogant and undisciplined that she beat up the young master of the Jin family violently on the street, causing Jin to stay in bed!

Lawyer Li Dajinjin: “My sister is in self-defense.”

Mrs. Rong didn’t know what to say, and threatened to rub the professional league champion on the ground by 1v5!

The leader of the e-sports world: “My sister’s strength is so powerful that it’s no problem to pick ten.”

Mrs. Rong is outspoken and commented on the performance of well-known actress Chengxiang!

Popular fried chicken: “I love it, I’m used to it, I don’t want to hold back.”

The onlookers feel their teeth are sore, this is simply a winner in life.

The sunspots were in a hurry, and they all picked up the keyboard and spit it out:

What if there is a big brother’s favor, it must not be favored by the second master, and it is destined to stay in an empty room for a lifetime!

Mu Changying’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: “Is that so? Second Master.”

The sinister Rong Erye panicked instantly, sweating in cold sweat: “I’m not, I don’t, daughter-in-law, listen to my explanation!”

The last Holy Maiden of the Eternal God Church, known as the Holy Maiden of the Nation. However, what is unknown to the world is the secret buried over five hundred years ago: the Lorian Empire's imperial lineage consisted only of women, with men being a taboo subject, a secret stemming from an unspeakable ritual within the Church's underground sanctuary. "She's risen from the dead! The Holy Maiden of the Nation has been resurrected!" With this explosive news, the Empress, troubled by the monster tide and the rebellions of surrounding lords, found a pillar of support. However, things didn't unfold as the Empress had expected. The Holy Maiden readily agreed to help her resolve the monster tide and the lord rebellions, but on the condition that she perform a ritual with her. ...Something's not right? This isn't right! How could the Holy Maiden of the Nation be like this? She shouldn't be lustful; she should be a respectable person! "Your Majesty, I adore you. From now on, you will be my plaything, contributing to the restoration of the Holy Religion's glory." "Not only Your Majesty, but my love for everyone is fair and equal." Looking at the group of women kneeling on the ground, each with their own unique beauty, the Holy Maiden declared, "You are all my wings." When the Holy Maiden rose again from her grave, burdened with hatred, she was already a thoroughly wicked woman, eager to satisfy her own desires and ruthless in achieving her goals.

A man who races against time in the Marvel universe, hungry for pleasure. In the dark night, Nuohe stood on top of the building in a black robe, overlooking the bustling New York City. He lowered the brim of his hat and said in a low voice: They are restless, because I…

He grasped the supreme mystery, transformed into one identity after another, staged a big show, but in the end all became real

Behind him, there are many people standing, Madara with Sharingan open, Artoria holding the holy sword, Doflamingo laughing, proud Gilgamesh…

In the post-apocalyptic era, the wasteland is in chaos and the road is facing the sky.

Crazy foreign gods, out-of-control spell seal cultivation methods, and martial arts masters whose old age is unknown.

In this dark doomsday, Xu Shu traveled through time with the game [Taichu Volume], and could only simulate life every day, play achievements, and amuse himself.

The Dragon King returned to his position, the golden glaze opened his back, and the rich master turned male and female;

at the end of ten days, the ancient way was kind-hearted, and the father was worried about the dead baby in the womb...

Xu Shu, who thought it was just a game of life, gradually let himself go and made achievements one after another.

Until that day!

The true disciple of the female Xu Palace became pregnant overnight and announced an emergency closure of the mountain;

the Lord of Baiyujing, who had been silent for many years, opened his coffin and stood up, raised his hand to destroy the enemy, and proved the great emperor;

a shepherd boy came to the door of the holy hall, calling himself Ye Su;

and a young man riding a cow suddenly realized, went west through Hangu Pass, and preached with a scroll: -

*The human race should be self-reliant, you can worship me, no need to kneel down to me!

*This is our world, no one can come here to be presumptuous!

* Those who claim to be gods shall be killed together!

...?

More and more human geniuses are spreading his name and words on earth!

Xu Shu then discovered that the legendary game he played every day was like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, with far-reaching influence!

That day, the rampant outer gods finally remembered the fear that they had been dominated by Him...

...

Died a thousand times on the way to heaven, another night in the Taichu Volume.

Looking back suddenly, the heaven and the earth have been shattered.

"I am Xu Shu, a rough man, I'm sorry, fairy!"

In the long dark night, the crimson moon hangs high in the sky.

Hoarse whisper patrols the streets. The brass steam engine is emitting blood mist.

Your brain is in ecstasy; your eyes are enchanted.

With cracked skins, it sprouts new flesh.

In the gray mists, shirek cries come from the flesh wall that consumes thousands of corpses…

“Stop crying, our players don’t bite. They just want to play with you.”

The Solitary Schemer, Number 1 Player, Land of Dense Fog’s Savior, Leader of 13 Saints, Friend of 12 Upright Deity, Pioneer King, “The Righteous One,” Gatekeeper of Forth Disaster, Crownless Deity, the great Annan advised kindly.

Gu Jinchen was originally the real young master of the Gu family.

When he was taken home, he thought that he would face all kinds of targeting and framing by the fake young master, as well as the disbelief of his family, just like all the other stories about real and fake young masters.

But what happened next was beyond his expectations

The fake young master hugged my thighs and begged: Brother, I beg you, please go home

The charming elder sister said: I didn’t expect my brother to be so handsome. Come to my room later.

Second sister: Although you didn’t grow up in the Gu family, don’t worry. In the next few days, I will teach you what a noble should and shouldn’t do.

Third sister: Now that you are back, I wish you good luck.

Even the fiancée that his family arranged for him turned out to be the woman who had been pestering him recently and calling herself his girlfriend.

Faced with this strange scene, Gu Jinchen knew there must be something fishy.

After he found out the reason, he knew that there was indeed a huge problem in the Gu family. No one in the family was normal.

He finally understood why the fake young master wanted him to come back so much, and why he envied him for not having to grow up in the Gu family.

But no one expected that Gu Jinchen was actually the most special person in this family.

He is hiding a huge secret.

Family: So you are the abnormal one!

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.
