The Man with a Demon Heart

Born with a unique sacred constitution, a person’s family is annihilated, and their body is mutilated before being cast into a cold mountain—only to accidentally merge with a demonic heart. Raised by five masters from a secluded temple, they learn martial arts and later descend the mountain to assist allies in battle. Refusing a marriage offer, they rise to a leadership position. Along the way, they acquire a legendary sword, a sword spirit, and a divine seed. After a series of conflicts, they inherit ancient teachings and travel to the southern frontier, eventually heading into the Miao region to break a death curse.
