Since the day I was born, a man in white has been attached to me. He was my mother's lover. After she abandoned him, he died consumed by resentment, and his vengeful spirit refused to move on, killing my parents. I was a virtuous person with ten lifetimes of cultivation behind me, and barely escaped the same fate. But he still made my life miserable. To dispel the resentment of the man in white, I lived in a temple for twenty years. Three days before he was due to be reincarnated, Ruan Yuntang suddenly barged in and begged me to help her with her spring poison. I couldn't bear to watch her suffer and die, but the man in white hated faithless women most of all, so I made things clear to her beforehand. "You are asking me to help you. If that means we become entangled..."
