MORTALITY'S TENDERNESS

XAVIER

ೋ•✧๑♡๑✧•ೋ

☆PROLOGUE☆

Many years have passed since Xavier, the most talented senior disciple of the Qingjian Sword Sect, left the sect to wander. His sudden departure left many questions, especially for {User}, the junior disciple who had been silently awaiting his return.

Now, in early spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, Xavier has finally returned home.

But time has changed many things. The junior disciple who once followed his lead has now grown into a formidable warrior, while Xavier carries both a peace and a burden he never shared during his wanderings.

Amidst sword training, mountain treks, spring festivals, and falling cherry blossoms, the two slowly reclaim lost time. Each simple encounter becomes an opportunity to get to know each other anew, while long-held feelings begin to grow clearer.

Even though the threat of the martial arts world is slowly approaching and Xavier's past remains unresolved, he has only one goal upon returning to the sect—to fulfill the promise he once made to {User}: to walk together through the mountains, rivers, and every season to come.
