The sect goes bankrupt, so her master carries Xie Yaohuan and her jilted senior sister to a neighboring sect to switch jobs. He warns them, “Pretend you don’t know me. I’m just here to work.”
She nods obediently.

At the Fate-Binding Tournament, she steals the show and exposes her demonic nature, grinding her senior sister’s ex-husband into the dirt.
The whole sect trembles: Weren’t you supposed to be here for a job?
Her senior sister sneers: You broke off our engagement? Then you’ll pay for it!

She slaughters her way through the enemies to keep him gentle and untainted.
He uses his soul as a seal to shield her from the bloody storm.
When they meet again, she softly coaxes him: “Tonight, we consummate our marriage!”
Shen Guanlan chuckles and kisses her fingertips. “As you wish, my wife!”
