Heartbound Feather : One Year With the Nightingale

In the floating clan realm of Qīng Lòu, Heaven has made a mistake: two souls, never meant to meet, are bound together across lifetimes. Reborn into a world of rigorous cultivators, hidden powers, and mysterious clans, they are paired by fate — and by the clan’s lottery — to face challenges that test loyalty, courage, and the heart. As Qingyè, a quiet yet formidable Gate Keeper, steps into his first trial, he encounters Xù Yao, a talented but unpredictable cultivator from a distant sect. With every task, every ritual, and every confrontation with the clan’s deadly hierarchy, their bond strengthens… but so does the danger. Demonic cultivators seek the power of their connected souls, and only by trusting each other can they survive. Forbidden, fated, and hunted, can these two young men defy Heaven’s design — or will the world tear them apart before their hearts fully awaken?
