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.

Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, I didn't want to be a villain! Don't force me! As you wish, watch me become the villain boss! Linghu Chong: "Your junior sister is mine, I don't want her anymore!" Murong Fu: "I'm just a younger brother!" Gongzi Yu: "Boss, don't kill me!" Fu Hongxue: "Can you not use your sword?" The Sweeping Monk: "Young people have no martial ethics!" Zhang Sanfeng: "Your tail juice!" ... This is a martial arts fan work, please don't criticize it if you don't like it! [Thanks to the readers who support 17K]

Holding a cicada in your hand doesn't necessarily mean holding the whole summer; holding a sword, however, means holding onto the world of martial arts.

Holding a three-foot-long sword.

Dream of becoming a sword god revered by thousands, and be an invincible sword immortal.

Sever the pagoda of the sect leader and knock off His Majesty the Emperor's crown.

He laughed loudly: "The eight kings of zither, lute, pipa, and lute, the four little devils of demons and monsters, fight alone with a single sword, and can be taken down with a single hand."

The world is abnormal as a demon

The spirit of the thing is the essence

Lingering soul is tricky

The tiger waist card made Wei Yuan the last lieutenant of the present day, and took him to many strange things throughout the ages.

The strange things of ancient and modern times, the son does not talk about strange powers, but does not speak or listen to it.

Cut it temporarily.

Life and death are determined, and the way of heaven is deliberate.

When Wei Yuan was finally able to lie down on a wooden chair and squint in the sun in the peaceful years, countless demons and ghosts had been sealed in the museum behind him.

Ye Shaobai, the third young master of the Ye Family Escort Agency, lost his mother in childbirth. His father, unable to let go of this grief, only allowed him to study literature, not martial arts. However, he was a sword prodigy. His aunt, Qing, noticing his frail health, unintentionally gave him a book of meditation and qi cultivation techniques—a martial arts treasure lost a century ago. Ye Shaobai secretly practiced according to the book's instructions, his internal energy growing increasingly powerful, and even his chronically weak constitution gradually improving. One day, he got into a fight with his second sister, Ye Mengjiao. When his father heard of this, he was furious and wanted to destroy the manual. Qing explained the manual's origins and pleaded for it to be kept. Through Qing's intervention, Ye Shaobai was allowed to secretly study it, and the wheels of fate began to turn wildly.
