Hot-blooded, softhearted senior disciple Lu Mucheng × pretty, scheming junior disciple Wang Quan
Lu Mucheng is an ordinary disciple of Lingxiao Sect. He has trained diligently for nine years, with the lifelong fixation of becoming “the sect's top disciple and saving all living beings.”
But fate had other plans. No matter how tirelessly he trained, his cultivation remained stuck at the Golden Core stage, leaving him baffled.
On his way back to the sect one day, he met a fortune-teller, who declared that he would soon encounter a fated romance. Once it came to fruition, his cultivation bottleneck would break on its own. Something belonging to his destined person, kept close to their body, would have a connection to him...
Lu Mucheng had always dismissed the claim that “love would help him break through” as ridiculous nonsense, and promptly forgot all about it.
That is, until something unexpected happened on the day of the sect tournament.
During a duel, a junior disciple accidentally knocked his sword away. The long sword flew through the air and landed right in front of Lu Mucheng, who had been lost in thought.
He lowered his eyes to look, and saw his own name clearly engraved on the hilt: “Lu Mucheng.”
The fortune-teller's words suddenly echoed in his mind. Lu Mucheng's heart lurched. He jerked his head up to look at the sword's owner and blurted out, “My destined love!”
The moment their eyes met, he froze as if struck by lightning. The sword's owner was none other than Wang Quan, the junior disciple who was always rolling his eyes at him!
Nine years of hard training hadn't helped him break through, but now his fated romance had emerged. So why was this relationship nothing like he'd imagined?
*
At first, he resisted the idea with all his heart, and even thought he wouldn't mind if his cultivation never advanced...
But as he spent more time with his junior disciple and got to know him better, his resistance gradually melted away, and his state of mind began to change without him noticing.
