That Butcher's an S-Rank Martial Ace!
A retired blade master, once feared across the martial realm, now lives a quiet life as a humble butcher, his legendary sword buried beneath years of silence. But fate strikes like a sudden storm—on a moonless night, he crosses paths with a princess fleeing for her life, her breath ragged, her fate hanging by a thread. In the flickering torchlight, he sees the Imperial Jade pendant around her neck—the very same token that once saved him from death in his darkest hour. Haunted by memory and bound by honor, he sheds his old name and steps into the gilded cage of the palace, taking up the role of her silent guardian. Cloaked in anonymity, he walks the shadowed corridors of power, where every glance holds danger and every whisper carries betrayal. She is grace incarnate, untroubled by the storm beneath the surface, unaware that the quiet man who stands watch at her door once danced with death and shaped the fate of kingdoms. But as danger closes in from all sides—assassins in the dark, conspiracies in the court—can she remain blind to the truth? Will the princess recognize the warrior behind the mask? And when the past rises like a vengeful tide, will their shared history be enough to shield them from the coming storm?
