[Strong Female Lead + Both Leads Are Pure + Male Teacher, Female Disciple + One-on-One Romance]
[Angsty Romance + Stoic, Chaste Master + Love Rival Showdown]
The war between the human and demon clans has raged for over a thousand years. Gu Sheng wields his sword and gravely wounds the Demon Lord with a single strike.
Even cleaving heaven and earth would take no more than one strike.
"The world is in ruins and its people are suffering. Someone has to stand up."
Yet this man, who loves all people and has neither desires nor attachments, meets the one person he can never forget: Xie Qingran.
In search of the truth behind her loved ones' deaths, Xie Qingran inadvertently embarks on the path of cultivation, and the two meet again.
To grow stronger, she studies forbidden arts. To uncover the truth, she draws closer to Gu Sheng, step by step. To take revenge, she kills her enemy with her own hands. But she does not know that along this path, everything between them has already changed beyond recognition.
The demons return once more. What will happen between the two of them this time...?
"I was wrong. Everyone thinks I am selfless. They think I cannot have desires of my own, that I cannot love you. That is what I always believed, until you appeared. Only then did I realize that I was born to dwell in the mire, and you are the only light in my long, lonely years."
