Lin Feng was once a good-for-nothing on the Cangqiong Continent. After a fortuitous encounter turned his fortunes around, he became cultivation partners with Yue Ling, the city lord’s daughter. On their wedding day, enemies attacked, and Yue Ling’s soul scattered as she saved him. Lin Feng then searched the entire continent for a way to bring her back.
Along the way, he met an elf princess who offered to help resurrect Yue Ling in exchange for sharing their life force. The two became bound by a symbiotic contract. Once Yue Ling returned and Lin Feng ascended to godhood, that contract and his former bond with Yue Ling as cultivation partners became entangled, leaving the three of them at an impasse.
A thousand years later, Yue Ling took the initiative to sever their cultivation bond. “This contract and our affection were both tangled up with too much that was beyond our control. Let’s end it.”
