I was once the Sword Venerable of Kunlun Mountain. For my Dao companion, Bai Lingxi, I gave up my chance to ascend to immortality and willingly stayed in the mortal world to protect her.
Who could have known that on the eve of our wedding, Bai Lingxi would be reduced to ashes during her tribulation?
Heartbroken, I went into qi deviation and tried several times to end my life.
Junior Sister Liu, afraid I would succumb to demonic cultivation, moved in with her Dao companion to take care of me.
Then one day, I accidentally overheard them:
"Lingxi, this soul-transfer spell is incredible. Even Murong Chen can't tell that you're Bai Lingxi. Every day, he can only watch the two of us cultivate together."
"What can I say? He's so chaste. We've been engaged for a hundred years, and he still won't cultivate with me. I wanted to try it out ahead of time, so I wouldn't regret it later."
I felt as if I'd fallen into an icy abyss. Bai Lingxi hadn't died at all. She had simply changed identities and stayed by my side!
