Shen Qingyang, a transmigrator who spent a century struggling in the world of cultivation, relied on a fragment of chaos and a ruthless disposition to survive nine near-death trials and reach the Deity Transformation realm. But while gravely wounded and on the brink of death, he fell in love at first sight with Luo Huai'an, the passing Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect. This sudden rush of affection activated the “Heartflutter System” that had lain dormant for a century. As long as Luo Huai'an stirred his emotions, he could exchange those feelings for healing resources and cultivation.
Luo Huai'an, a prodigy with a mutated wind spirit root, reached the Nascent Soul realm in just fifteen years. But after being forced to take charge of the Joyous Union Sect to repay a debt of gratitude, she became trapped by the sect's shackles and the prejudice of the outside world. Cool and aloof, she was wary of Shen Qingyang's “sudden appearance,” unaware that he had made her his target and was determined to win her over.
To heal his wounds, discover the reason behind his heart's sudden stirrings, and abide by the cultivation world's iron law that “might makes right,” Shen Qingyang pressed forward at every turn, stirring up turmoil in the Joyous Union Sect with the might of a Deity Transformation cultivator. He pretended to get close to her while investigating her past; meanwhile, with the System's help, he reaped rewards from her wariness, anger, and dependence, quietly healing his injuries.
From their first fleeting glimpse at Broken Soul Cliff to his forceful protection of her amid the sect's internal strife; from his initial “taking her by force” to the complicated feelings that gradually blossomed between them, the schemes of a century-old monster collided with the stubbornness of a young sect master. Amid the System's rewards for stirring her heart lay the tentative approach of two lonely souls. When hidden dangers emerged, including the covetous gaze of the Devouring Heart Cult and secrets about their pasts, the pair bound together by “heartflutters” would face the storm of conflict between the righteous and demonic paths, see the sincerity in each other's eyes, and join hands to overcome it.
