Chapter 1 · free to read
They say the Quiet Sparrow's owner has poured tea for nineteen years and never spilled a drop. They do not say why she never needs to see the cup.
Nineteen years ago she was the Whisper of Wushan — the blade the jianghu paid a fortune to never meet. Then someone made certain she would never see a target again.

Nineteen years ago he blinded the assassin sent to kill him. He never learned her name. He never learned she survived.
