Welcome to a tale spun from smoke and silk, where swords are heavy with memory, and petals still bloom in blood-soaked soil.
Like many danmei stories before it, Petals Beneath the Sword follows the tread of destiny between two souls who were never meant to meet–yet do, and change each other forever. Here, you'll find the familiar: sect rivalries, forgotten legends, quiet gazes in moonlight, the ache of loyalty, and the kind of love that endures beyond names and lifetimes.
But this story also carries pieces of me.
It begins not with heroes, but with a boy in the ashes of a ruined home. He is not strong. He is not chosen. He survives. Like us. You are not alone like the boy in this story. We are all survivors and we will live on and carry hope.
This is not a story about falling in love. It's a story about learning you deserve to live.
Thank you for turning the first page. Wherever this story finds you, I hope it leaves something gentle behind.
–With Heart, Sujuri
