(A friendly warning: This is a tragic romance, and a very heartbreaking one at that. It starts with suffering before turning to love, so proceed with caution if you can't handle that!)
(Female-led + corruption + revenge + reshaping the world + tragic romance)
Long Yingxue once saw Chen Feng as the only light in her dark world. When they first met in Lingxi, she protected him with tenderness. But when she fell into the abyss and her spiritual meridians were destroyed, she saw him gravely wounded and unable to help. She became the Icebound Snow Empress and drew her blade against the world. Again and again, he stood before her, using his blood to awaken the warmth still left in her heart. They loved each other, yet fate kept forcing them onto opposite sides. Even when their blades clashed, their eyes held an unbearable pain.
Liu Muyan fell for Chen Feng at first sight. Beneath her proud, prickly facade was a blazing passion, but Su Xuan abducted and assaulted her, then manipulated her mind until she became a tool of revenge. She resented Chen Feng for "choosing Long Yingxue" and repeatedly plotted against them. Yet late at night, she would stroke his old belongings and weep. In the end, she died protecting the two of them, and her final words, "I'm sorry," became an everlasting regret.
Su Xuan's false kindness was sugar wrapped around poison. He exploited Long Yingxue's trust to destroy her spiritual meridians and manipulated Liu Muyan's body and mind. But in the end, he was devoured by a Soul-Eating Demon, becoming a sacrifice to his own desires and leaving behind a world in ruins.
