Yun Chu is the least remarkable little fairy attendant in the Immortal Realm. Her daily duties are cleaning the Heavenly Palace and organizing its books.
She dislikes socializing and always acts like an NPC in the Immortal Realm.
That is, until one day she is assigned to serve Xuan Xiao, the Immortal Lord famed for his icy aloofness and lack of human feeling.
Rumor has it that Xuan Xiao cultivates the Path of Emotionlessness, having severed all ties of love and affection. But Yun Chu discovers that he seems unusually “indulgent” toward her.
When she spills immortal dew, he simply says, “It’s all right.”
Even when other fairy attendants bully her, he “just happens” to appear and come to her rescue.
Yun Chu assumes this is merely an immortal lord looking after one of his subordinates, until one day she accidentally discovers Xuan Xiao’s secret:
His study is filled with portraits of her!
“My lord, do you... like me?”
“It’s not like. It’s a tribulation.”
Recommended: start reading from Volume Two. The first volume is pretty awful.
