Yet in front of his disciples, he is a scheming emperor. She is the daughter of gods and demons, born to a noble and exalted station! But she has lived a peaceful life since childhood, and no one has ever told her who she really is. She herself knows nothing of her origins. By a twist of fate, she becomes his disciple, the seventh he has taken. The apprentice he cherishes most is his eldest disciple, but he doesn't know that she harbors feelings for him that she has never revealed.

Time and again, he misunderstands her for the sake of his eldest disciple, until he finally breaks her heart. She resolutely leaps from a cliff and severs all ties with him. When they meet again, he has learned the truth. He also realizes that he loves her! But she tells him, "The past is past. A shattered mirror can be put back together, but a broken heart can't be mended!" Then she turns and walks away. His heart aches beyond measure, but there's nothing he can do to change things!
