Spring of the Blade

The whole world may fail her, but there is one man, Shen Run, who never will. A man seasoned by life’s experiences, who has seen countless sights and dazzling lights, yet once he chooses, his heart is as unshakable as stone, willing to go to any lengths.

She is a delicate young girl, like a fragile blossom that must be carefully protected so she won’t be crushed. Once, she was kept in someone else’s vase—if he wished to admire her, he had to invent excuses just to visit.

Now, transplanted into his own garden, he gives her fertile soil and nourishing rain, allowing her to grow freely as she wishes. All he asks in return is simply to see her, again and again.
