Male Lead, Stop Dreaming! The Heroine Is Here to Kill You!

[Neither wholly righteous nor wholly wicked + emotionally detached + ambitious + powerful female lead; aloof and proud + hopeless romantic + younger devoted puppy-like male lead]

Lin Qingyu's life has been as troubled as a weed adrift on the water. Her closest relatives have died one after another, leaving her utterly alone. In her darkest hour, a sword immortal takes pity on her, and she embarks on the path of immortality, dreaming of carefree adventures at her master's side, sword in hand, roaming across mountains and rivers.

But the tides of fate turn. Her master dies, and the Tianyan Sword, wreathed in the evil aura of annihilation, is the source of every tragedy.

Entrusted with her master's final wish, Lin Qingyu inherits a set of notes: find the Qingshuang Sword, kill the master of the Tianyan Sword, and destroy that evil blade once and for all. The mission takes root in her heart as an obsession.

Yet when she finally finds the Qingshuang Sword, her life veers off course once again.

In the sword grave, she takes in a young man. With a gentle smile, he enters her cold world, teaches her alchemy, and gives her a rare pill furnace without holding anything back. He searches the world over to gather precious medicinal herbs for her, spends a fortune just to gift her a mermaid's robe, and even risks his life to save her in a moment of mortal danger.

But fate is cruel. By a twist of circumstance, Lin Qingyu discovers that he is the master of the Tianyan Sword!

The Qingshuang Sword trembles in her hand, as if urging her to decide. Between her obsession and the deep affection they once shared, whether to kill him comes down to a single thought.

But the young man simply casts aside his sword and kneels before her. “Lin Qingyu, I only wish to die by your sword.”
