The Broken Sword Chronicle

Chen Chang'an runs a noodle shop in a small Jiangnan town. He doesn't know who he is, doesn't remember the fatal sword wound on his back, only that his knife-cut noodles are decent and life is peaceful. Until a group of black-clad men massacre the town, calling him 'the world's greatest swordsman Lian Yun.' The pursuit by righteous factions, the courtship by demonic cults, and the century-old sealing conspiracy slowly tear open his past. The so-called conflict between good and evil is merely a chessboard for the powerful; the blood flowing in his veins is the key to breaking the game. There are two ways to restore his memory: find the one who cast the spell, or gather the five lost inheritances. The former requires his death, the latter demands he travel the martial world alone. When the truth is revealed, the one who betrayed him back then is the now-revered martial alliance leader. Will he choose revenge or salvation? This is a story of a man who lost everything finding his true heart. No female lead, only a broken sword to sever grudges, cut attachments, and protect the mortal world.
