Aethonys

In the shadowed valleys of Jianghu, where sects rise and fall on the edge of a blade, one man walks the line between light and darkness.

Mo Tianlan is a hero to some, a villain to others, and a mystery to all. Orphaned as a child and raised in the brutal Demon Sect, he knows the world is not ruled by strength alone, but by the stories people believe. When tragedy shatters his fragile peace, he vows to never again be at the mercy of others.

Now, as a rising star in the righteous Azure Moon Sect, Mo Tianlan is hailed as “The Celestial Sword”, a warrior who fights for justice and protects the weak. But beneath his gleaming armor lies a darker truth. In the shadows, he is a puppeteer, pulling the strings of power to shape the fate of Jianghu.

As war brews between the sects and whispers of a mysterious figure known only as the Shadowed Blade spread, Mo Tianlan finds himself caught in a web of his own making. Loyalties are tested, enemies close in, and the line between ally and adversary blurs. To survive, he must outwit everyone, even himself.

The Shadowed Blade is a tale of ambition, deception, and the cost of power. In a world where nothing is as it seems, one question remains: Can a man who controls the shadows ever truly step into the light?
