[Outwardly aloof, a martial arts fanatic and leader of the Demon Cult × inwardly pure-hearted, narcissistic, and the pinnacle of the cultivation world]
> Ling Zhao is outrageously powerful and wants nothing but to grow stronger. Her sect has been smeared as a Demon Cult? Whatever. The whole sect is busy delivering spirit pigs, anyway. Then she sets her sights on Yun Yi, the insufferably smug Sword Venerable ranked number one in the cultivation world. On the night she fails her 103rd challenge, a bolt of heavenly lightning hurls them into another world.
The good news: She’s bound to a System.
The bad news: Her mission is to keep the “weakling” Yun Yi, who coughs up blood every three steps, alive!
Forced to become his full-time bodyguard, Ling Zhao is screaming on the inside: Why is this sickly wreck harder to look after than a savage beast?! She has to check his pulse, feed him pills, shield him from blades and spears, and keep his own “good looks” from getting him into trouble.
Yun Yi (coughing blood on the outside, secretly delighted on the inside): She really is after my looks! She touches my hand every day and fights for me. She’s so into me!
Until one day, Ling Zhao sees with her own eyes as her “mortally wounded” Dao companion casually pins the villainous leader into the ground...
Ling Zhao (drawing her blade with a cold laugh): Is pretending to be weak fun?
Yun Yi (wiping away blood with a soft laugh): The way you worry about me... is cute.
Later, he takes a fatal blow for her, but his unique cultivation power surges through her body. It turns out that during their hundredth duel, he hid all the power he had cultivated in her meridians.
The System suddenly flashes a final mission: “Please kiss your bonded partner.”
Clatter! Clatter! Their swords hit the ground at the same time.
