An Encounter on the Spirit Trail

1v1 romance + sect darling + younger martial nephew + fiercely protective + sweet romance + ensemble cast While Yun Qingshu was meditating in seclusion, her Genshin Impact spirit slipped out one night and happened upon Pei Zhao roasting a hare in the woods. She casually advised him, “Set fire to the mountain and you’ll spend the rest of your life in prison.” Pei Zhao drew his sword on the spot, convinced she was a female ghost, and determined to capture her. To avoid trouble, Yun Qingshu simply pretended to be Yue Yao, a fellow demon hunter from hundreds of years ago whose cultivation had failed, leaving her soul unable to rest. Kindhearted Pei Zhao took pity on her and secretly brought her food in the woods every few days as an offering. In return for this small kindness, Yun Qingshu taught Pei Zhao a few techniques to help him hunt demons. Who could have guessed that Pei Zhao would seriously confess his love for Yun Qingshu, and even consider traveling to the Western Regions to seek a secret method to bring her back to life? But in the end, he held fast to the righteous path and refused to use forbidden arts to defy fate. This left Yun Qingshu flustered. If she became romantically involved with Pei Zhao, she would not only damage her Dao heart but also bring trouble upon her sect. So she lied that she was going to be reincarnated and said goodbye to Pei Zhao. But then a wolf demon came seeking revenge, and in the midst of the crisis, Yun Qingshu appeared and slew the monster. Pei Zhao froze among the crowd. That face, that voice, it was unmistakably Yue Yao, the woman he had secretly kept in his heart! Now that the sect leader’s junior martial uncle’s secret identity has been exposed, how will this forbidden reunion end?
