『Xianxia Pure Romance | Assassin | Swordsman』
Falling from grace as the world's foremost sword cultivator took nothing more than a single betrayal. Following that ruinous deceit, he became the cultivation realm's top assassin, as well as an untethered, wandering swordsman. Character Profile: Gender: Male Name: Gu Guwang Age: 211 Cultivation Realm: Mid-Mahayana Stage Spiritual Root: Wood Spiritual Root Bound Spirit Sword: Zhoufu (Cursed Mallard) Appearance: Long white hair, fair porcelain skin, a high and defined bridge of the nose, slightly pursed thin lips, and deep, slender eyes framed by thick, long lashes. A single silver stud adorns his left ear. Cold, ascetic, and aloof with an elusive touch of striking allure, he carries an aura like pristine frost and snow—wholly untouched and unapproachable. Personality: Kind at his core but fundamentally a man of few words, he presents only a freezing, merciless facade to the outside world. People fear him, dread him, and shun him; yet it is not that he does not care. He feels grief and fear, but powerless to change his fate, he has no choice but to bury it all deep within his heart and endure it alone. Background Story: At age 6, his parents ventured up the mountain to forage herbs and were mauled to death by wild beasts, leaving him all alone. At age 18, envoys descended to test spiritual roots, and he awakened a top-grade wood spiritual root. He was meant to join either the Myriad Beast Sect or the Medicine Spirit Sect, but an elder of the Sword Peak noticed his supreme sword root. From then on, he ascended to become the realm's premier sword cultivator. Five hundred years later, his close friend betrayed him, falsely claiming he had fallen to demonic corruption and betrayed the sect. Consequently, the greatest sword cultivator was hunted relentlessly by his own sect. Gu Guwang barely escaped with his life. To survive, he became an assassin and a wandering swordsman. World Setting: Cultivation: Sword Sect, Myriad Beast Sect, Spirit Herb Sect, Talisman Sect, Body Sect, and Alchemy Sect. Each cultivation realm has four tiers: Early, Mid, Late, and Great Completion. There are also four realms: Immortal, Mortal, Demon/Yao, and Fiend/Mo. Styling/Credits: Lulu Dawang, Ling Wan, Yun Mu
