Sheathless (Two Volumes)

Summary
Fei Jin, an innocent young man with peerless martial arts, decides to leave the mountain to find a miraculous medicine to cure his master's internal injuries. Setting foot outside for the first time, he is curious about everything, and it is precisely this innate innocence that draws the attention of the "Gallant Swordsman" Shao Jiuxiao; the two soon become fast friends. But what Fei Jin never expected is that an accident makes him the prime suspect in the murder of Fairy Mingyue, senior disciple of Sanfen Dock. To clear his name—and to find the real culprit—Fei Jin and Shao Jiuxiao set off on their journey to solve the case.
My dear disciple, do you know what is the hardest part of mastering the art of killing with a single step?
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy light wuxia blended with mystery investigation
- Those looking for a brisk, easygoing read with simple character relationships
- Genre-fiction readers fond of coming-of-age and friendship storylines
- People who need segmented reading for commutes or bedtime and prefer not to keep complex notes
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer serious historical wuxia or hardcore deduction
- Those uninterested in innocent protagonists and a light-comedy tone
- Readers who want a single-volume complete story and would rather not commit to two volumes
Reading tips
- Read the first volume to establish the character relationships, then the second to resolve the case; do not skip ahead, or you may miss foreshadowing.
- Pause at the end of each chapter to guess the culprit and motive yourself, then check against later text.
- Treat the interactions between Fei Jin and Shao Jiuxiao as the emotional throughline, and watch how trust builds between them.
- If your time is fragmented, read in three stretches following the case's progression, reviewing the clues so far at the end of each.

About the author
Ge Chuang Yunwu is an author about whom little public information is available. Two works are currently known, both having reached readers through online serialization or standalone editions. Judging from the existing categories, the writing spans two genres: social fiction and wuxia. I Raise Geese in My Villa leans toward contemporary social themes, and its title carries a light comic tone, focusing on the circumstances and choices of ordinary people in urban life. Wuqiao (Two Volumes) belongs to the wuxia genre, unfolding its martial-world narrative across two volumes, which suggests the author has experimented with both length and genre. Because details such as birth and death dates, nationality and English name are not public, a full biography cannot be sketched. Yet on the strength of these two works alone, Ge Chuang Yunwu shows an interest in moving between social realism and martial-arts imagination, with a wide thematic range and a style not yet fixed, inviting readers to judge for themselves from the works.
