Description
At the grand competition of Sanqing Realm, Suiyin claimed first place in swordsmanship, gaining the rare opportunity to choose her mentor. Selecting a worthy teacher meant becoming their closed-door disciple – obtaining sect treasures and inheriting an elder’s lifelong knowledge. This privilege held immeasurable value. Under the approving gazes of elders and envious stares of fellow disciples, Suiyin extended her finger toward the last woman at the elders’ platform. “I wish to study under Elder Wuwei.” Murmurs rippled through the crowd. Suiyin overheard peers whispering: “She’s insane! Choosing Elder Wuwei with such a prime opportunity?” “Truly! She’s throwing away her future!” “Xia Wuwei merely holds an elder title. Even other elders’ disciples surpass her skills. That fool must be enchanted by her beauty.” The sect leader urged repeatedly, “Reconsider your choice.” Standing straight at the competition ground’s center, Suiyin declared with firm resolve: “I choose Wentiang Peak.” The champion thus became Sanqing Realm’s favorite joke – everyone claimed Suiyin had chosen lust over wisdom, blinded by Xia Wuwei’s beauty. Only Suiyin knew the truth: Xia Wuwei remained the true best in sword techniques. A lost sword heart mattered not – her mastery never depended on any blade. Years later, Suiyin became the most envied disciple. Though lacking power, Xia Wuwei overflowed with devotion! Which master personally accompanies their disciple on every mission? Who cooks daily meals for their apprentice? Whose master comforts sorrows with warm embraces? Suiyin grinned till her cheeks ached: “Mine does.” * Xia Wuwei once dazzled Nine Realms with her Heartless Sword, vowing to challenge Heavenly Dao through blade mastery. Heaven’s envy struck – her sword heart shattered, her spirit broken. The Heartless Sword abandoned her, becoming mere dead steel. Transformed into Nine Realms’ cautionary tale, she drowned in self-doubt and perpetual gloom. Until someone declared: “Your true strength never lay in that sword.” She remained the undisputed best in sword techniques – eternal and unrivaled.

My Thoughts on I Have a Sword to Ask the Heavens
"I Have a Sword to Ask the Heavens" promised a blend of xianxia action, cultivation, and a sweet yuri romance, and while it delivered on some fronts, it stumbled in others. Having delved into this world of female masters and rebellious spirits, I've come away with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely grabbed my attention. The premise of a strong female lead, Xia Shi, and her interactions with the mysterious Suiyin, sparked a curiosity that kept me reading. There's a certain charm in their early relationship that’s undeniable.
What Works Well
The core of the story lies in the interactions between Xia Wuwei and Suiyin. Their relationship is undeniably sweet and engaging for a significant portion of the novel. The slow burn as Xia Shi realizes Suiyin's true identity is a highlight, creating a compelling dynamic that had me rooting for them. I also found the unveiling of past events to be satisfying, with well-placed foreshadowing that added depth to the narrative.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, as the story progressed, I found myself getting lost in a convoluted plot. The transitions between scenes felt abrupt, and at times, it was hard to follow the timeline. Certain plot twists lacked sufficient setup, leaving me scratching my head instead of feeling surprised. I also felt that some of the side arcs could have been fleshed out more, given the limited screen time, failing to capitalize on their potential.
