Engraved on Skin and Bone
Hua Kai has lived his whole life as a descendant of the famed Gaolong Hua Clan, cursed to never use spiritual powers. But when he finds out a way to harness it, he strives to become a renowned cultivator himself. In the process, he adopts a disciple by the name of Qi Xiaomei, and the two slowly figure out the world of cultivation, despite being at the lowest level possible. Little by little, they unravel the secrets behind Hua Kai’s curse, all while figuring out their feelings for each other.
*note that while Hua Kai and Xiaomei have Shizun/Disciple relationship, they are only two years apart at 21 and 19, and have a relatively casual relationship in this aspect.
