[No System + no transmigration + no harem]
Zheng Xiaowu, the legitimate daughter of a prestigious clan, was on her way to an assessment at a sect when she rescued a shivering beggar child at a wind-bitten pass. Beneath the child's frostbitten, purplish face was a pair of clear, almond-shaped eyes as pristine as uncut jade. Something stirred in her heart. She wrapped the child in her fox-fur cloak, named her Qiu Tong, took her in as her personal maid, and cared for her devotedly.
Years later, they both joined the Qingyun Sect. Zheng Xiaowu had a rare gold spiritual root, one seldom seen in a century, and was taken as a peak lord's personal disciple. Her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, making her a rising star in the sect. Bai Qiutong, however, had an ordinary spiritual root and became a menial disciple, spending her days sweeping and tending to chores. Their positions were worlds apart.
Zheng Xiaowu often saw Bai Qiutong sitting alone by the window, staring blankly toward the main peak. The melancholy in her eyes pained Zheng Xiaowu, and the possessive obsession in her heart grew unchecked. She planned a little scheme to bridge the distance between them.
But everything seemed to be unfolding differently from what she had imagined...
Whenever someone else approached Bai Qiutong, a vicious temper surged within Zheng Xiaowu. She dug her fingertips into her skin until they bled without even noticing, her gentle smile concealing a madness beneath.
“Xiao Tong, don't be afraid. Everyone crowding around you will disappear. You can only be mine.”
“Once everything settles, you won't have to be sad anymore.”
She devoted herself to removing every “obstacle,” never realizing that those chance encounters and friendly gestures were all traps. An invisible net aimed at her was slowly tightening.
