《Blood Sect Chronicles: Crimson Love Between War and Fate》
Chapter 1: "The Ghost That Drinks Blood"
[Scene 1 – Moonlit Woods Near the Ye Clan Ruins]
The full moon hangs low, casting a pale sheen over a forest that has long forgotten sunlight. Trees bend as though whispering curses. A group of cultivators in light blue robes weave silently between the trunks, following the stench of blood and rot
Shen Yiren
(low voice)
The reports said five dead..All drained of blood
Disciple Xu
(nervously clutching sword)
Brother Shen, do you really think… it’s a ghost?
Shen Yiren
…Something worse
A crow shrieks overhead. The group halts. At their feet, the mutilated body of a cultivator lies in a pool of blackened blood. Two puncture wounds bloom at his neck...
Shen Yiren
(kneeling)
This blood is fresh.Still warm..
Disciple Xu
Then… it's still here
A cold wind cuts through the trees. Lantern flames flicker, then snuff out. One by one
voice
You shouldn’t have come here
Disciple Xu
(draws sword)
Who’s there?! Show yourself!
A silhouette appears between two trees—tall, cloaked in tattered black robes. Long raven hair flows over his shoulders. Eyes—crimson and cruel—gleam under the moonlight
Liang Fenghua
(mocking) Shanhe Sect dogs, always so eager to chase shadows..
Disciple Xu
(whispers) Senior Shen… that’s… he looks like—
Shen Yiren
(quietly)
Shut up.
Disciple Xu
But that’s Liang—
Liang Fenghua
(steps forward, smirking) Ten years, and you still remember my name? I’m flattered, Yiren..
Liang Fenghua
So they say.
Disciple Xu
(shaking) You… you killed Senior Zhao, didn’t you?! And those villagers!
Liang Fenghua
(tilts head) Zhao? The one who poisoned his junior to rise in ranks? No great loss..
Shen Yiren
You’re killing again.
Liang Fenghua
(laughs coldly) "Again"? Have I ever stopped?
Shen Yiren
You… what have you become?
Liang Fenghua
(steps into full moonlight) A monster. Isn’t that what you all called me?
His face—still beautiful, but deathly pale. Veins like ink branch beneath his skin. Fangs glint at the corner of his smirk..
Disciple Xu
(backing away) This isn’t human… He’s—
Liang Fenghua
Say it. Say it, little disciple
Disciple Xu
(trembles) V-vampire..
Shen Yiren
(steps forward) Why show yourself to me?
Liang Fenghua
(voice drops) Because I want you to see what your silence cost..
[Flashback: Shanhe Sect, Ten Years Ago]
The lanterns swayed softly in the night wind. Young Shen Yiren stood beneath the plum tree, watching Liang Fenghua sleep against the wall, scrolls scattered around him..
(whispers) You’re going to get expelled if you keep stealing from the inner library..
young Liang Fenghua
(half-asleep) Knowledge wants to be read, not chained.
young shen yiren
(smirks) That’s not how the elders see it.
Liang Fenghua
Then the elders are blind.
young shen yiren
(softly) Fenghua… don’t touch the blood scrolls..
young Liang Fenghua
(looks up) You think I’m going to turn evil?
young shen yiren
I think… I don’t want to lose you
Fenghua doesn’t respond. He stares at Yiren for a long moment
young Liang Fenghua
…Too late for that.
[Scene comes Present, Forest Clearing]
Shen Yiren
(low) Why come back now?
Liang Fenghua
(grins, fangs exposed) To remind the righteous how easily they rot..
Shen Yiren
(draws sword) I won’t let you hurt anyone else..
Liang Fenghua
(steps closer, voice like silk) You’ll stop me? You—who turned away when I was condemned?
Liang Fenghua
You didn’t speak. That was enough
Shen Yiren
I was young. I was....afraid.
Liang Fenghua
(mocking smile fades) So was I. And they tore me apart.
A silence falls between them. The forest itself seems to wait
Shen Yiren
(softly) Are you… still you?
Liang Fenghua
(a beat)
...What does it matter? I still dream of you Even in the dark.
Liang Fenghua
(turns away) Leave. Or next time, I won’t just kill the guilty
The wind howls. A clash of blades. Moonlight shatters in their wake as past and present collide under a sky red with memory.
part-2
The clearing splits in silence. Shen Yiren’s blade glimmers like water under moonlight. Liang Fenghua stands still, robe fluttering in the night wind. Neither moves for three breaths...
Liang Fenghua
Draw it again. Like old times..
Shen Yiren
I’m not here to spar with the dead
Liang Fenghua
(smirks)
No. You’re here to see if I can still bleed.
In one flicker of motion, Liang Fenghua vanishes—then reappears behind Shen Yiren. Blade meets claws. Sparks fly..
Shen Yiren
....You’re faster
Liang Fenghua
(mocking)
Death has its perks.
Shen Yiren turns swiftly, blade slicing through shadow. Liang Fenghua moves like smoke, his black robes dancing with crimson edges—faint as dried blood. They circle, then clash again..
Disciple Xu
(watching, terrified)
S-Senior! We should help!
Shen Yiren
(without turning)
Stand back..
Liang Fenghua
Let them watch. Let them see what your “righteous path” breeds..
Shen Yiren
You’re not the only one who lost something that day
Liang Fenghua
(his smile twists)
No. But I’m the only one who came back
With a sharp hiss, Fenghua lashes forward. His nails extend like black daggers, barely deflected by Yiren’s sword. The steel hums with strain. Shadows curl at Fenghua’s feet like living things..
Shen Yiren
(panting)
You’re using blood energy
Liang Fenghua
I’ve long stopped pretending I’m above it
He strikes again—this time not at Shen Yiren, but at the lanterns above. With a wave of his sleeve, the forest is plunged into complete darkness. Only glowing red eyes remain
Liang Fenghua
(voice in the void)
Tell me, Shen Yiren… did you ever mourn me?
Shen Yiren
(quietly)
I never stopped..
A heartbeat. Then a hand grips Shen Yiren’s wrist—cold, sharp, trembling slightly
(scene shift...
Aftermath, Atop the Cliffside Shrine)
Dawn bleeds faintly across the distant horizon. Shen Yiren stands alone atop an old cliff shrine—overlooking the ruins of the Ye Clan estate. Wind rustles his robes
Shen Yiren
(internal)
He’s changed… but not entirely.
His cruelty is sharper. His words are venom. But his eyes…
They still shake when he looks at me
A gentle crunch of footsteps..
Elder lu
Elder Lu (offscreen):
Shen Yiren. You saw it?
Elder Lu Most conservative elder of the Sect and loyal advisor
Shen Yiren
(nods)
It’s not a ghost. It’s… Liang Fenghua
Elder lu
(shocked)
Impossible. His body was burned. We all—
Shen Yiren
(cold)
I saw him with my own eyes
Elder lu
(grim)
Then the blood curse is real And it’s spreading
Shen Yiren
He’s not killing without reason. His victims were corrupt—poisoners, traffickers, and oathbreakers
Elder lu
(stern)
And that excuses him?
Shen Yiren
No… but it’s not random. He’s sending a message
Elder lu
Then we must silence it before others hear
[Scene shift]
{Cangxue Valley: Whispering Tombs}
Liang Fenghua moves silently through a field of tombstones cracked and overgrown with snow. His black robe trails behind, soaking moonlight like spilled ink.
voice
A soft rustle behind him..
Liang Fenghua
(without turning)
I wasn’t done talking..
voice
(sighs)
You still dream of him?
Liang Fenghua
Quiet)
Every time I feed
voice
He’ll never understand. Not what they did to you. Not what you became
Liang Fenghua
He doesn’t have to understand. He just needs to see
Liang Fenghua turns, crimson eyes gleaming with something unreadable—hatred, longing, regret
Liang Fenghua
Then maybe I can stop dreaming..
[Scene shift]
{Shanhe Sect, Outer Hall}
Disciples gather around a scroll pinned to the sect’s main wall. On it: names of those slain. A pattern emerges—all linked to corruption, buried crimes
disciple 1
This isn’t random…
disciple 2
They’re all sinners..
disciple 3
Is it justice… or revenge?
Shen Yiren walks through them, silent
Shen Yiren
(internal)
You became the very thing they accused you of.
But you still choose who to hurt.
You still choose.
part 2.5
[At Midnight Lake, Old Pavilion Ruins]
Liang Fenghua stands beneath the weeping willows. The lake reflects his pale face and red eyes. He dips his fingers into the water. Steam rises..
Shen Yiren
(offscreen)
Still can’t touch running water??
Liang Fenghua
You followed me. Again.
Shen Yiren
Someone has to stop you.
Liang Fenghua
You’ve always been good at “shoulds.”
Shen Yiren
And you’ve always been good at making me doubt them.
Pause. Wind blows. Leaves fall silently
Shen Yiren
I remember what you said before they took you..
Liang Fenghua
What did I say?
Shen Yiren
“Don’t look away.”
Liang Fenghua
(smiles faintly)
And yet you did
Shen Yiren
I won’t again..
Liang Fenghua
Then watch closely, Yiren.
Watch what I’ve become for you..
Lightning flashes in the far sky. Rain begins to fall—hissing against cursed skin. Liang Fenghua remains under the storm, refusing to flee. Shen Yiren stays too.
Two figures, soaked in silence. The night holds its breath...
