Cai Xiulan By Zomayuan (Patreon)

"Her heart was too soft for this world. She cared too much to be a true cultivator. All She'll ever amount to being is a single Blade of Grass. That is what they once said with derision, when they spoke of the Young Mistress of the Verdant Blade Sect.

No one really expected much of her. A pretty thing to be used to advance an Elder's station. A trophy concubine for a powerful man. That was how a woman like Xiulan's story was supposed to end. Without accomplishing anything.

But what do cultivators do, besides defy fate?

A woman doomed to obscurity came back at the head of something that would change the Azure Hills forever.

A Blade of Grass. Cai Xiulan smiles now, when people call her what was once an insult.

"The humble blades of grass have conquered the world. From the Howling Fang Mountains to the Forge Bellow Volcano. From the freezing cold tundra to storm wracked coast. At the tops of mountains, and the bottom of the sea, it is there. Even in the Wastes, little sprouts of green encroach into into black sand, attempting to reclaim them inch by inch.

To be compared to a blade of grass... Its quite the compliment, isn't it?"
