When Shen Qingwan died by Xie Linyuan's blade, the blood feud that had wiped out her family was carved into her soul.
When she opened her eyes again, she had become the illegitimate daughter of a minor clan. The man who had once slaughtered her family was now the Abyssal Venerable of the Immortal Sect, choosing attendants to nurse him through an illness. Drawing on memories of her past life, she managed to reach his bedside. When her fingertips touched his wrist, they trembled with hatred. Those hands had once placed flowers in her hair, but in the end they were stained with the blood of the Shen family.
She had planned to make him fall for her, then shatter his heart. But when he clutched her hand in his illness and murmured, "Don't go," then asked with red-rimmed eyes, "Do you hate me?" she panicked.
Only later did she learn that he had gone mad from cultivation to protect the last remnant of her soul, and that the words "Wait for me" concealed a redemption bought with his life.
With her revenge blade at his throat, Shen Qingwan tossed it aside. "I had the wrong target. This grudge... I'm letting it go."
Xie Linyuan clasped her wrist and smiled. "Too late. You're responsible for me now, all the way to the end."
In my past life, you were my calamity. In this life, I am your destiny.
