Ruan Tang was swept away by a temporal rift while on a mission. He mistakenly entered an unknown world and became a blade of grass. He saved a dying boy, initially raising him as nourishment, but gradually began feeding him every day.
He accompanied the boy out of the forbidden grounds and helped him take revenge and make a comeback. When someone insulted the boy, Ruan Tang lashed out with his vines, beating the offender until he could not get back up. When someone accused the boy of being a member of the demon race, Ruan Tang led him into their sect and seized countless treasures. Their infamy spread throughout the cultivation world, where everyone could only lament their bad luck.
A year later, Ruan Tang returned to find the boy he had left without a word, only to discover that the smiling little white ball had become the aloof immortal everyone praised.
Beneath the tribulation lightning, the aloof immortal looked utterly wretched, devoid of any will to live. Yet disbelief filled his eyes as he kept repeating, “You love me? How could you love me?”
Ruan Tang leaped in front of him and held him close, taking the world-ending lightning strike in his place.
