Unparalleled Artist: Unlikely Hero

Following his father's murder, Wu Ling's mother returned to the life of a courtesan, disguising her young son as a girl to take refuge in the Bamboo Silk House, a women's only sect dedicated to the arts. Now, as his powers awaken, he'll find himself torn between protecting his family and the goals of powerful cultivators who see him as a means to an end. "Wu Ling, I've accepted a marriage proposal on your behalf," the bewitching Hall Master of the Bamboo Silk House declared. "When you enter the Inner Sect, you'll enter under the name 'Hua Qianhu', fiancee of a young lord of the Liang family." "Hall Master, that's impossible!" Wu Ling protested. "Even if you ignore my relationship with Meifeng, I might have dressed well enough to hide as a mortal woman but I could never..." "So you truly didn't realize what you were doing," the Hall Master said, a dark smile on her lips. "Little Ling, you're a natural-born Shapeshifter. I'll teach you what you need to know," she said, her features shifting until she looked like a mirror image of the stunned Wu Ling. "As long as you follow my arrangements and learn my techniques, it isn't impossible for you to reunite with Meifeng..." "But you should consider Young Lord Liang carefully," the Hall Master added. "His affection for you is genuine. Perhaps, one day, you'll even feel the same for him..."

Severing Ties

In Silver Sword City, despite Wu Ningli offering to wait until Wu Ling returned home to hear their decisions, neither Yao Meifeng nor Su Yao needed more than an evening to consider the arrangements Wu Ningli had proposed. 

Yao Meifeng had already firmly set her heart on Wu Ling and in the time since he left on his expedition, Wu Ningli had become a more comforting maternal presence in her life than her own birth mother had ever been. Formally joining the family was something she could accept even if things never worked out between her and Wu Ling. 

Things weren't much different for Su Yao. Her life had taken a dramatic turn when Wu Ling brought her to the Bamboo Silk House but in her mind, it was only a turn for the better. She'd gained a form of freedom and a growing sense of control of her own destiny in the shadows of the back of the sect.
