When I See Mountains, I Think of Her Brows” — A Moment from Sword of Coming

Sword of Coming is a xianxia story about growth, resilience, and the long journey to strength. At its heart, though, it’s about people — their hopes, fears, and quiet emotions. Chen Ping’an, the main character, isn’t born powerful. He works hard, stays humble, and carries a deep sense of loyalty in his heart.

One of the most touching moments comes in a conversation with Ning Yao. Chen says:
“When I see beautiful mountains, I think of her brows. When I see clear water, I think of her eyes. When I see other beautiful women, I still think of her — but when I look at them again, they don’t seem beautiful at all. Loving her is my business. If she doesn’t love me, that’s fine.”

Ning Yao challenges him: “What if I don’t like you? Will you love someone else, like Ruan Xiu?”
Chen replies: “If loving someone else means I can’t see you anymore, then for the rest of my life, I’ll love only you.”

That’s not just romance. It’s a statement about conviction. Love, for Chen Ping’an, is not a trade or a bargain. It’s a choice he makes for himself — and no one can take that away.

This scene feels so real because it speaks to a truth many of us know: beauty fades, feelings shift, but when love is rooted in something deeper than looks, it becomes unshakable. Chen isn’t dazzled by appearances. He sees, then looks again, and realizes nothing compares to the one he truly cares for.

The message is simple:

Real love doesn’t depend on what you get back.

True affection stays even when tested.

When you look at the world through love, everything else seems pale in comparison.

That’s why Sword of Coming feels so human — because beneath all the swords and cultivation, it’s really about the hardest battle of all: staying true to what you feel.
