Yun Suwan is an employee of a transmigrate-into-a-book agency. This time, her mission is to conquer Lu Changyan, the male lead of a cultivation novel centered on a powerful hero.
She must make him fall in love with her, then cruelly abandon him, completing the plot that was supposed to belong to the supporting female character, who unexpectedly awakened and ran away.
As is typical of novels centered on a powerful male lead, Lu Changyan has endured endless hardship since childhood and bears a blood feud. He has the face of an immortal, and a decidedly eccentric temperament.
To complete her mission, Yun Suwan takes him in as her disciple, protects him, and gives him warmth.
She stays by his side as he grows from a weak, hunted fugitive into the Sword Venerable, renowned throughout the cultivation world.
The plot unfolds right on schedule. Just as the story dictates, in the year Lu Changyan loves her most, Yun Suwan slaughters a hundred ordinary people.
At last, under pressure from everyone across the cultivation world, Lu Changyan tears out her bones and heart, repaying her life with his own to appease their resentment.
Thus Yun Suwan dies, body and soul, and her mission ends.
That day, thunder crashed and lightning flashed as torrential rain poured from the sky.
The proud and aloof Sword Venerable, who had always considered himself above the world, knelt in the muddy, sodden earth with a corpse in his arms, sobbing uncontrollably as his sword heart shattered.
Overnight, his hair turned white.
