After being murdered, Wen Qingxuan transmigrated into a world ten years in the future.
She discovered that her fiance had a new girl by his side, a little ray of sunshine whose face bore a six-tenths resemblance to her own. The girl called herself a "conquest target" and claimed she had come to save the male lead.
Wen Qingxuan's sudden appearance made her the "third party" standing in the way of the girl's mission.
All four of Wen Qingxuan's former disciples had turned evil.
Her eldest disciple had fallen in love with the girl and then turned that love to hatred. He tried to imprison her, only to be tortured instead, and was forced to seek refuge with the Demon King.
Her second disciple tried to assault the girl's close friend at a banquet, then accidentally fell into a pond and drowned.
Her third disciple spent every day picking fights with the male lead's underlings. Hunted by the male lead, he fled to the demon realm and became one of its Four Great Demon Kings.
Her fourth disciple slapped the girl, and was sent away to do menial labor.
Wen Qingxuan laughed in anger. Once she returned home, she decisively broke off her engagement and set out to find her scattered disciples, one by one.
The eldest disciple, now an envoy of the demon race, swore an oath: "Master, I have not the slightest improper thought about that face of yours. Heaven and earth can bear witness!"
The second disciple, now a vengeful spirit, said mournfully, "They ripped out my golden core, took my life, and ruined my reputation."
The third disciple, now a Demon King, slammed the table. "They dared bully my junior sister? I'll beat them to a pulp!"
Her scheming fourth disciple complained, "They spread filthy rumors about me and stole my treasures."
Wen Qingxuan, fiercely protective of her own, seized golden cores, resources, and power, crushed the protagonist group, and dealt with every one of those troublemakers.
Later, a gloomy, unhinged villainous tycoon locked her in a hidden chamber and gripped her waist, dark currents swirling in his eyes. "Give up. Your former fiance will never find you."
Wen Qingxuan smiled and curled her arms around his neck. "Perfect. No one will disturb us."
