Description
Five months ago, one night of slaughter and a curse placed on her little brother forces Shu Haolin to flee her home in the countryside of Suzhou, and she is rescued by a mysterious woman in lilac. She seeks shelter in the Yu Sect, a powerful cultivation Sect in the reclusive mountains of Hangzhou, and she must study under Sen Zhongyu, a publicly shunned lunatic. Now, she is fighting to become a ranked disciple of the Yu Sect to access the clan archives and research the curse that numbers the days of her little brother, Shu Haoyang, and investigate the forces behind her parents' deaths. However, when the Baiyu Alliance of demonic cultivators suddenly makes a reappearance on the jianghu, Shu Haolin finds that the secrets of the past are buried closer than she thinks-in Yu Jielan, the dashijie who strongly resembles her savior in lilac, in Chen Linfeng, the isolated medicine disciple, and even in her crazy shifu. Slowly, Shu Haolin realizes that she must decide between the revenge of the past, or the hope of the future. In a dense, thick forest of secrets, Shu Haolin catches the scent of an orchid, which leads her back home.
