I Only Want Revenge, but the Heavens Force Me to Save the World

One-on-one romance, a genius music cultivator × a princess of a fallen kingdom | Ensemble cast | On the night her kingdom falls, Yan Zhijing clutches a bloodstained phoenix hairpin and vows to take revenge. Later, while begging for food on the street, Yan Zhijing overhears passersby saying that the Tianxi Sect is recruiting disciples, with no regard for their background, only their destiny for cultivation. On the Stairway to Immortality, a young man's jade-green flute saves her. It becomes the first ray of light in her abyss. At the Five Sects Grand Tournament, six extraordinary young people meet: Yan Zhijing, the princess of a fallen kingdom; Duyi, who always says, "Cultivating immortality is no match for getting drunk"; Yun Zhiyue, who bears the fate of the North Sea; Xie Xiaoxi, afflicted with a heart-devouring parasite; Feng Wuxue, who seeks the ultimate sword; and Liu Changjiu, transformed from a green lantern before the Buddha. In a peach grove, they swear a blood oath, believing their friendship can withstand the passage of time. But fate never indulges the ambitions of the young. The year Yun Zhiyue meets Xie Changyun, the peach blossoms are in full bloom. He teaches her to smile and lets her taste peach-blossom candy. Later, when the Xie family hunts down the bloodline of the Sea God, he burns through his cultivation to help her escape, leaving her with just one request: "Look at the peach blossoms for me next year." The following autumn, Yun Zhiyue takes the peach-blossom candy he loved and kills herself beneath a peach tree. She says, "Senior Brother, I saw the peach blossoms. The candy was too sweet. It hurts." The day Xie Xiaoxi's heart-devouring parasite flares up, she walks into the parasite cave of her own accord. "Work hard at cultivation and explore the world," she tells everyone with a smile. Afterward, the parasite cave is never opened again. When the demon clan appears, Feng Wuxue switches sides. Everyone calls him a traitor. Duyi gently pats Yan Zhijing on the head. "Little Junior Sister, you've graduated." Then he walks onto the battlefield. Later... Of the six who once swore their oath, only she remains. She still remembers the jade-green flute on the Stairway to Immortality. One glance. It was enough to last her a lifetime.
